> Don’t you think that anyone who got the “slight sore throat, dry cough and mild fever” or milder symptom variation would be unlikely to get tested or talk about it? That's my opinion, as well, there's clearly under-reporting of these cases, and that's why specific serological tests are important. Anecdata: a partner of an acquaintance of mine had fever (but rather mild) for a couple of days, then developed anosmia. The doctor told him to stay at home and that's it. He was never tested so the doubt lingers (happened well over a month ago, so one can't discount a flu, either).
