Those low testing numbers you refer to translate into almost 3 million tests which is more than any other nation in the world and more than the next two nations combined. You won't find any cases if you don't test for them.
Covid 19 Statistics
The numbers of tests done in USA is about 1/2 of the number done in Germany. Many other countries are doing more per capita than USA.
Total tests reported as of today:
US 2,938,148
Germany 1,317,887
Per capita, Germany and many other countries have tested more people but the US has still tested roughly 1.6 million more people than the country with the second most tests, Germany. If you test an additional 1.6 million people you're probably going to find a couple more cases of Covid-19.
If you want to talk total cases per capita, the US and Germany aren't too far apart right now with the US listed at 1773 cases per million and Germany listed at 1552 cases per million.
The biggest problem is that most of this data from all of the countries involved is highly suspect. It's impossible to draw any meaningful conclusions from incomplete and highly suspect data.
