That's cases. There was hardly any testing during the first wave, which hit NY particularly. The numbers are likely significantly higher.


Yeah. Hardly any testing as in even with every single covid symptom you could not get a test depending on your age and prior conditions. Now, you can walk in to clinics with no wait and get a rapid test ASAP. It's very different.


Yes, it is probably higher. The 980k figure also counts over 200k probable cases and probable deaths, so some of the untested are baked into the total figure.
