I wish these reports would contain total administered tests.

The initial papers coming out of China indicate that the infection is asymptomatic or mild in a lot of patients.

We can assume a very significant amounts of undiagnosed patients everywhere.

Wikipedia has a good collection of reported numbers [1].

Norway seems to indeed be one of the most aggressive in testing.

There are detailed stats in wordmeter for tests, here: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/covid-19-testing/

You can see how some places like US are not treating this like a threat. We Italians have a high number of cases because of the number of tests, same thing for South Korea for example.
