Have you watched the "technical briefings" to the House of Representatives in the Netherlands? The same graphs as seen on the corona dashboard [1] are used to persuade politicians to implement policies based on absolute PCR test numbers. Despite an increase in weekly PCR tests from June's 50k to November's 260K [2]. I'm sure other data is used but this seems to be a major part of their argument.
