Over 14k cases in the State.

That isn't a surprise. As more people get tested there will be more confirmed cases. What I want to know is what percent of people tested are tested positive.

One one hand.... its best to use the tests responsibly (since theres a limited supply).
However if you have enough, it would be awesome just test every single person in a country.

mostly its about these groups:
So anyone thats been in contact with someone confirmed to have it, or thinking such.
Anyone who shows symptoms (dry caughing multiple times pr day, muscle aches ect).

If you just randomly test like a million people (that are mainly healthy) the % of positives will be really low.
You might think "well done, job done", but where it matters is those who "might" be infected.

If you find out they actually are, you can ask them to not go around infecting others.

+ Also testing of doctors and nurses, often.
You dont want them infecting others, in hospitals that might already be suffering from other sicknesses.
