It’s hard to say since in the beginning few were officially diagnosed. The question is are more people actually being infected or are just the number of tested people going up?

If the number of positives going up was predominantly from additional testing, one would usually to nearly always get a positive result when testing. That is very much not the case, even in NYC. A month ago, positive tests for people meeting the previous standard for testing were reported as 3%.

I’ve heard that even in NYC, only about one in eight people tested with symptoms actually has the coronavirus.
