The data suggests only the state of New York or maybe just NYC is doing any testing on any kind of scale.
NY has reported a whopping 12,000+ cases so far today (3/22)!
As of 3/21, NY had done nearly 3.6x more tests than CA. What is the lag in CA testing that NY doesn't seem to have?
My assumption is CA has to have a similar number of cases to NY, but maybe CA taking measures to shut things down sooner kept things under control? Even 5x CA's reported cases wouldn't even be 8,000, while NY now reports nearly 23k confirmed cases.
