I wonder what the qualifications are for testing. It seems in most states that having fever and sob is not enough. People are being turned away from the test for “not being sick enough”. If that’s the case in Louisiana, then that has to be factored into the numbers.

Exactly.
In NY, where I think they are testing more than anywhere, it is very difficult to get tested.
People who pretty much 100% have it are almost all being told to stay at home and self medicate unless life-death sickness.
Probably good advice but it means that I would be very surprised if more than 5% of people who have it in NY are being tested and counted in the numbers.

Massive testing doesn’t make sense right now wile we’re shut down and under mass quarantine. It would have made sense a month ago and in the future. We’re trying to get back to as close to what the conditions were a month ago as possible and begin again. Sort of like a reset.

It’s the case definitely.
