But if testing was done at the level it is now then "real number" of cases would be many times higher, especially in UK as they are doing in excess of 300,000 tests a day.
I went for another test this week because of a secondary risk, site offered me a test within 10 minutes of the time I was logged on at i,e 10-10.30 and had a couple of hundred available tests that day.
