There is evidence of undetected transmission in Washington State: https://bedford.io/blog/ncov-cryptic-transmission/ https://bedford.io/blog/ncov-cryptic-transm

  That is a different situation, as there is not mass testing in Washington State. There was/is in China. The point of this line of argument is to get an idea if the fatality rate really is 2-3%. When we thought there might be a lot of undiagnosed cases in China, we had reason to suspect the fatality rate is lower than that. But when we systematically tried to find such cases and diagnose them, we could not discover them. That supports the conclusion that the fatality rate really is 2-3%. That people are being infected in Washington, and we don't know how, does not counter what we think is the fatality rate.
