Right. What you're talking about is what will matter most to an individual who has just tested positive. What are my odds? And to some degree it's a proxy for "serious enough symptoms to be tested" vs. fatality.
The problem is "serious enough to be tested" right now varies massively from country to country. And we're on the super low end. So there's a ton of uncertainty in the US at the moment. Outside of China - South Korea seems to be doing the most aggressive testing at the moment.
