The bad news is that SCC is still finding just 12% of the expected number of symptomatic cases, based on hospitalizations.

My impression was that ~20% of symptomatic cases required hospitalization.  With 137 hospitalizations, you'd expect 685 total cases, and they've found 459 (about 2/3).  Based on deaths and assuming a naive CFR of 2%, you'd expect about 850 cases, of which they have found 459 (a little over half).  These are, of course, estimates, but they don't suggest a massive undercount of cases.
