They will increase testing, they will find a lot more people who have it or had it, none of which has anything to do with the ONLY thing that matters- how many will die, and how old or compromised are they? The death rate out of Italy, highest in the world, and All OLDER than 80, and most with other conditions.
The acknowledged death rate on this is going to drop like a stone, when they keep finding more non or mildly symptomatic people. My bet is it is way more prevalent in the population than they think, and far less serious.
"don't let a crisis go to waste". And if you don't have one, invent or exacerbate one.
