It's not a case of suddenly overnite a whole bunch of people just got sick. Finally, we are not being told how many tests are being done AND how many are negative. Therefore, without this missing data, we have no idea if we are under or over reacting. We need these numbers for a logical discussion else all this pontificating is just that.
Perhaps this data is available but we are not being provided with these numbers for a very specific reason. Food for thought
