South Korea tests 10,000

a day, the US 2,000 total

It’s time for the state to take the lead in large-scale testing for the COVID-19 virus in California.

Up until now, the federal government has been unable (scary) or unwilling (also scary) to perform large-scale testing. South Korea has been testing 10,000 people a day; as of March 7, it’s estimated the U.S. has only tested around 2,000 people total since the outbreak.

It’s likely there are many hundreds (or thousands) of people infected, since many people who are infected show few or no symptoms.
