To your list I'd add the issue of asymptomatic spread. I find it incredible that no large scale testing has been done to find whether or not the virus has entered the community at large in a less virulent manner. Someone should be doing random testing of a few thousand people in Hong Kong to give us some baseline data. Hong Kong, because the epidemic there was wide, seems to have about run its course, and its authorities have set up reasonably transparent accounting of cases.

However, I am not sure that any tests exist that are sensitive enough to do this kind of testing without a high false negative rate.
