2/n Experts say that also means you can estimate total daily tests run in U.S. by multiplying daily new cases reported by 10 since 10% of tests reported are positive (it is likely all positive tests are being reported, even if all negatives are not)...
3/n On Monday ~ 1000 new cases were reported, likely reflecting ~10,000 tests run. Friday over 5000 new cases were reported, reflecting at least 50,000 tests run daily. With the strength of the commercial sector coming online, testing capacity increased 10 fold in 5 days...pic.twitter.com/Ds1E8uHjrK
4/n Another important point is that in South Korea’s initial mass testing surge, reports show they tested 1/200, or ~250,000 people. Based on current US case totals, experts estimate the US has tested over 250,000 so far. This again shows the strength of our commercial sector
5/n If the commercial sector can get us from ~50,000 tests/ day to 100,000 - and they can- we have real potential to have tested over a million people (equivalent to 1/200 US adults, which is again comparable to South Korea’s initial testing surge) in 1-2 weeks...
6/6 Thanks to commercial market, testing is 
rapidly.
MUST prioritize healthcare workers and those at highest risk, but we are approaching “mass screening” throughput levels for #COVID19 testing. More work to do, but seeing progress.
Please stay at home to #stopthespread
SPOT ON. Very few of these positives will need a respirator!!! AND we have chloroquine to treat!
Wait wait wait. We heard millions of tests are shipping. Yet only 50k were run at best? Even with drive through options? Something doesn't match up....again.
Implementation. We don't have millions of lab techs, nurses and drivers deployed yet to apply the tests and run the results.
Finally some math instead of "many" or "significant". But do us a favor: TELL YOUR BOSS TO US A FAVOR AND GET THE DAMN TESTS DONE!!!
“Likely”? Why don’t you know how many tests were completed? #horriblescience
The disseminated medical systems we have in this country are not orchestrated yet. That will be the task of something like FEMA or the CDC... but a clinic in Boston and one in Pittsburgh might not get results back at the same rate depending on where their testing labs are.
