You drew a conclusion of an inflated infection rate., which is bogus. The infection rate is more complex than your simplistic generalization. This cite: https://ourworldindata.org/covid-cases gives the figures of different measures of cases and fatalities and how they describe the infection rate, which is managed by Oxford University.
As I cited the primary hallmark of the infection rate is the severe cases, hospitalizations and fatalities due to COVID-19. and the purpose of tracking is to prevent further infection related to the the severe cases, hospitalizations and fatalities.
Again the current surge in cases in June and now July is documented by the severe cases, hospitalizations, and fatalities, and not simply counts of positive cases.
