In some ways that's positive. If the number of cases is higher than thought, then the deadliness is lower.

- hanniabu 7y agoThat depends. They just may not be showing symptoms yet. If that's the case then these are lagging indicators of what's to come. There could be thousands that have the virus and won't start to show it for another few days. And those would have been interacting with others that could catch it and might not show it for a week or so.
