Question Just a Thought

Just a thought on the subject. If you accept there were 15,000 new positive cases of Covid-19 yesterday, and this has historically represented 10% of those tested then there would have been in the neighborhood of 150,000 tested yesterday? Of course these numbers could vary as it is just a sanity test to the numbers being reported. I don't draw any conclusion as I am not sure of the daily testing capacity of the State? You can adjust the the numbers by changing the percent positive against 15,000 as I understand that is the number being reported for one day?
