It seems off to me to label these “hidden outbreaks.” The fact is that there was no effective testing in Feb because of the Trump admin’s policies. They changed those on 2/29 to let NY do its own testing and the next day we saw the first confirmed case. nytimes.com/2020/04/23/us/…
People knew in February that they had symptoms and testing was nowhere to be found. All this overwritten stuff about disease “silently spreading through the city” kinda obscures the fact that people were posting about their untested cases on reddit.
