Some doctors/scientists are saying the real numbers are 10 times higher.

I know that of a friend has to get tested before she has a colonoscopy so maybe a lot of places make you get tested and you don't have a choice. People who have been in contact with someone who tested positive also must get tested. If you go into certain airports and you have a fever you get tested on the spot. It isn't nearly as many as should be though.
