15% hit rate on people tested seems pretty good, right?

I really don't know what to think about the rates of positive tests.

On one hand, it seems good that so many are testing negative.

On the other hand, a ton of positive cases -- even many that are very sick -- are not being tested.

I'm in NY and personally know a lot of people that almost certainly have it who are untested even though some have tried to get a test (and NY is doing a lot more tests than anywhere else).

The more stories I hear from NY, the more I wonder exactly what the criteria is to be tested and am sure that it's being applied extremely unevenly.
