Test all those that have Coronavirus Symptoms not just those in hospitals.
It is vital we as the public know the severity of the situation and if we aren’t getting the true numbers people could be confused and think that it’s not as bad as it actually is. People could take unnecessary risks and the fatalities will rise more than predicted.
the peak chart won’t be of true value. Now that only those that are severely ill are being tested the line on the chart will falsely level out as it shows a small percentage of those that are infected. Giving people a false sense of security which could and more than likely will end fatally for a big portion of the public. People NEED to know the truth of where the virus is and how many are infected in each area. If you want people to trust the government you need to be straight with them.
