Those are the exact number of confirmed cases per the CDC. There is no way to be specific as with any illness. Whether it be the common cold or a flu strain. But, in regards to what the Center for Disease has posted those are the numbers they have reported as of right now.
I’m in WA and we are being told by public health officials that the number of people with coronavirus is in the thousands. The UW is consistently getting about 5-7% of positive samples but the testing is very limited right now. It wasn’t that long ago that the health workers at Life Care Center WITH symptoms couldn’t get tested. It doesn’t mean they don’t have it. Just means it hasn’t been recorded on a test.
ETA:UW Virology reports 7% of positivity of samples with 25 different genomes in WA.
