Yes, but these folks were not tested correct?

  I know this is a fast moving topic, but the kerfluffle from last Wednesday about the person not tested for 4 days has caused testing to become much broader. For example, on Thursday, Santa Clara County ran a local test that confirmed the community-spread patient that's in a hospital in Mountain View. So a lot more testing is going on than was the case Wednesday and earlier.

  Again, from the article: Dr. Jeff Duchin with King County Public Health also said that an additional 27 residents and 25 staff members are reportedly ill with respiratory symptoms, hospitalized with pneumonia or are being tested for coronavirus. And two people have confirmed cases and are currently hospitalized.

  Yes, but the high number suggests that it may not be the flu, since immunity to flu lasts a few years, so people are unlikely to fall sick in high numbers like this, and also are in the same facility as people tested positive.

  That is incorrect. At least some of the people were tested for coronavirus and the tests showed positive.
