My wife works as a nurse in Berrien county Michigan on the very southwest corner with about 170,000 population. She tells me is not possible to get a test at all unless one is hospitalized. One of my friends came back from an international trip to Romania. He was very sick and had all the symptoms but could not get tested locally. He was told he had to drive to Grand Rapids a hundred miles away. He was really sick so he didn't want to drive all that way and back so just stayed at home miserable. Obviously if nobody who has the symptoms is able to get tested than the reported test results are going to be a lot lower than those actually infected.
