> If uniformally randomly distributed It's certainly not uniformly distributed. Testing is not random. Typical test guidelines are to test when some combination of the following are present: * Flu-like symptoms, after ruling out all other infectious causes * Travel to a known outbreak region * Close contact with a confirmed or strongly-suspected case Asymptomatic people without known exposure are left untested (as is sensible to economize resources), and even people with mild symptoms but no known exposure may be left untested -- this makes it particularly difficult to catch the early stages of community spread, before people have had time to be hospitalized.
