> Just wait until they actually start testing people in earnest; the infected numbers will skyrocket in a very short period of time

The President, while visiting the CDC, said that he would prefer not to let the Oakland cruise ship passengers disembark, because it would bring the numbers up. He'd rather keep the numbers down.

Based on that, I doubt that there will be testing in earnest, so that "the numbers" don't skyrocket.

If I wanted to quell panic I would institute random testing to drive the numbers UP. That would lower the perceived fatality rate and assuage fears.
