In today's press conference, the gov and DHHS just said we have adequate testing capacity, but of course would like more (an probably need more to start opening things up more).

But wait, there's more...

"A team from Stanford University and other colleges recruited volunteers in Santa Clara County via Facebook adverts and produced a sample of 3,000 representatives of the county as a whole. They were then invited for blood tests to detect the presence of antibodies to the virus. The result was positive in 1.5 percent of cases. Adjusting for age, gender and ethnicity the results suggest that 2.8 percent of people in the county had already had the virus. That might not seem many, but at the time of the study — on April 4 and 5 — only 1,094 people in the county were recorded as having the virus.

The study suggests the real figure is between 48,000 and 81,000.
