It appears that this is a partial report. The number of positive cases is important to know so that they can plan and keep tabs on those infected. There has to be a second chart showing the number of total cases actually tested; without it they can not determine the shape of the curve. It is irresponsible reporting to only show the number of new cases - fear mongering. It is important to know whether the 3,528 cases were out of 10,000 (35%), 30,000 (12%) or 100,000 (3.5%) people tested.
