The more testing we do, the more actual cases and reported cases converge. That allows people to more accurately asses their risk of infection.

Imagine we did no testing so report cases was *zero*. People would asses their risk of infection at zero.

We need more testing to give the public the chance to know figure out what their risk is.

And we need to report estimated cases rather than just those who have tested positive.
