I know five people in NYC who have it. None of us have gotten tested. There are so few tests, basically only those sick enough to be admitted to the hospital are getting tests (so far). Testing is NOT being used to count cases. It’s only being used to make medical care decisions.

Replying to @jensimmons
The numbers for NYC went up by 93% today (1871 to 3615). It seems likely at least some of that is from increased testing capacity. But given those numbers it's shocking that NYC isn't drastically restricting movement (at least like Bay Area), at least until are enough tests.
