    People in the US are still being denied tests despite having symptomshttps://twitter.com/Grady_Booch/status/1244026793939501056 …

    It is evident that reported #Covid19usa case numbers are far lower than reality. Just today I was on a videocon wherein four people reported having all the symptoms, but their doctors denied them tests because they could not establish a direct chain to someone already affected.

        They have to do screening because of false positives. Also positivity rate (% of people who a doctor said yes get tested because of contact or clear symptoms) is 4-10%. So no likely (>.9^4) none of those people have COVID

        From a statistical pov, you cannot just exclude samples because you are afraid that they are false positives if you know the false positive rate, no? If they test positive and you doubt the result, test them again. Otherwise, give out estimates for the aggregation.

        Testing strategy differ around the world. We have got testing points in front of hospitals. You pay for the test (70-100 USD roughly)...

        Our strategy of “strict lockdown” started since 12th of March seems work now. Surprisingly small amount of ER visits. We await first wave of “delayed cases” these hours...

        The same in Russia, only there are paid tests already. Though I'm sure not everybody can afford one.

        This has been standard procedure in Germany as well (at least for the longest time - or you needed to have been in a "high risk" area outside germany). However, here they probably did get most of the transmission chains, so it apparently did a decent job. In US - I'd be sceptic.
