The US and South Korea announced their first cases of the coronavirus on the same day: January 20. More than six weeks later, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has tested around 1,500 people for the virus. South Korea, meanwhile, has tested about 140,000.

The nation is capable of conducting as many as 10,000 tests per day and has built drive-thru testing clinics that can detect coronavirus cases in just 10 minutes. Officials say the clinics can reduce testing time by a third.

This quick response has allowed South Korea to detect more than 6,000 coronavirus patients, around 35 of whom have died. That means the country's fatality rate — the number of deaths out of the total number of infections — is around 0.6%.

Yep, the more testing done will get you closer to the true mortality rate.

Families in WA are pissed that they can’t get their loved ones tested who are residents of the afflicted nursing home. Those who are not sick should be moved out of there. 7 have already died from that outbreak. Why is testing for all the residents not being done?
