New York and L.A. County have indicated they will not test (some) cases that are expected to be COVID-19.  Those jurisdiction's numbers should be considered incomplete & thus wrong.  Someone in China might point to their numbers and say they are lying.

Are there any places beyond East Asia (and maybe Germany?) where "anyone who wants a test can get tested"? My impression is that France, Italy, Spain, and the UK are not able to test everyone who suspects or is suspected of having the virus. And I've yet to hear of anywhere in the U.S. that is.

If that's true, should we just assume that just about every "jurisdiction's numbers should be considered incomplete & thus wrong"? (Except, perhaps, the NBA)
