A study today from Imperial College suggested that the UK has 35X to 160X more cases than it claims, which would be worse than what the UK alleges about China. twitter.com/NateSilver538
That study is definitely on the high end of the consensus range. But the consensus is that there's a *lot* of underreporting in Western countries and that the UK, which hasn't done much testing, is among the countries with the biggest underreporting problems.
The UK has tested only 135,000 people *total*. That's quite poor. The US is likely testing almost that people many *per day* now. (We have more people, but surpassed them on per-capita testing a few days ago.)
