Yeah man, 40 bids isn't bullshit. And there's about 2 and half days yet of potential bidding.

Its a pattern of how testing rolls out in one poarticular area.
COVID cases are like mice, if you see 1 you have 10, so numbers of course are much higher than that.

Well in that case (if there's 9 more for every 1) that means the 4% death rate is no more than 0.4% since 90% of people are not tested and don't even feel sick but are somewhere out there.

It's a little different really. Last week when we saw 1, we had 10. Today if we see one, we may have 35. That's why I said the numbers are meaningless. It's not so much because they're skewed, but their skewness changes all the time.
Our official number of cases is around 4200; the actual number of infections is at this moment likely tens of thousands.

Yeah there are a lot of unknowns unless everyone can be tested.

And the last thing an overstreached health service needs is for everyone with a sniffle to go to their Dr asking to be tested. If they do test positive, they've just potentially contaminated every other fucker in the waiting room. Stay at home and isolate yourself as best you can.

I'm not running out to be tested right now or anything but, I would like to know if me and the wife have been exposed. My doctors would like to know, too. 
I just heard NY Gov Cuomo in his Sunday presser asking for this serological testing.
Here's a home test coming to a bodega near you. https://techcrunch.com/2020/03/20/scanwell-aims-to-launch-at-home-15-minute-coronavirus-test-but-it-still-needs-fda-approval/
"The test that Scanwell is aiming to launch uses what’s called a ‘serological’ technique, which looks for antibodies in a patient’s blood. These are only present if someone has been exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus.."
Also, interesting, Singapore First to Test Out COVID-19 Serological Assay in Outbreak Contact Tracing https://globalbiodefense.com/headlines/singapore-first-to-test-out-covid-19-serological-assay-in-outbreak-contact-tracing/
"Current tests for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, look for genetic material of the virus, for instance in saliva or nasal, oral, or anal swabs, using the Polymerase chain reaction (PCR). However, these tests can’t identify people who went through an infection, recovered, and cleared the virus from their bodies.
Serology testing, on the other hand, looks for previous infection by detecting antibodies to SARS-CoV-2. This type of testing is invaluable for surveillance and investigational purposes..."
Somebody could probably expound on this better.
Be well everyone. . . .

Testing for antibodies will hopefully be ramped up as it could free some people from some of the restraints of self quarantine. And make them a resevoir of hands available as support to essential services.

It would be good to know when you are not infectious, it would dampen a lot of the stress.
Data from antibody testing of large groups would probably be helpful as the virus infection increases in areas that haven't been hit hard yet.
