So let's linearly extrapolate that 1600 10x So say 16k have it in a population of 364k
That makes for 4.3% of their population having the rona. (not 50%)
The Headline does what headlines mean to do; Mislead.
The real story is that 50% of those who have it don't know it.
Thanks for the post and link anyway. There is some good info there.
edit: rough (first order) math on my part, I know. (4.3% is higher than refined math)

It is not 5%. Currently it is 5000 cases per million which is .5%.
Edit, I see where you got the 5%.
