The laboratory confirmed positives are only 27,717, meaning the pick up rate is only 2.7%. I wonder what this means with regards to the alarmist estimates of fatality rates around 0.37% that we have been fed with? With an estimated denominator of ~1 million, the death rates would actually only be ~1/10,000, i.e. 0.01% in the US - far less than the fatality rates of previous pandemics and even seasonal flu.
I think health officials need to be a bit more realistic in their communications, and help us understand this better.
