...
but.. my point was it doesnt matter if they were doing 50k tests a day or 200k tests a day, if there were only a few hundred people with it.. then there will still be only a few hundred people with it
which is the same common sense thing no matter the country/state
It does indeed matter, because it's very useful to know that only a few hundred catch it and test position, out of a hundred thousand in the same time period that do get tested.
As opposed to only getting the test if you show symptoms, which would create a far different perspective.
