I meant people being tested nowadays, not cumulative numbers. Today: Kings 548/1835 = 29.9% and Queens 786/2428 = 32.4%

- badfrog 7y agoIf we're going to talk about the total number of people who have been infected, wouldn't it make more sense to use the overall test rate?
- kgwgk 7y agoMy point was that the number of people currenlty infected is surely lower than 30%, given that only 2% of the population is already confirmed and testing a suspected case today will return a negative 70% of the time. But as another commenter said, it's not impossible that there are many other people who had infection which is not currently active. Using the overall test rate doesn't really help, I think.
