Many times more have wanted to be tested than have been tested. Just read this thread. It's still incredibly hard to get tested. People with symptoms but not in critical condition are being told to go home and self-isolate. Many probably do but you have to think they'd be more serious about it, and not allowing at-risk people near them, if they knew for sure they had it.
If we had adopted the WHO's test from the beginning instead of trying (and bumbling) to create our own - we'd be able to test at S. Korea level - where everyone who wants a test gets one, instantly.
From what I read, in S. Korea if you test positive they put you in the hospital immediately and isolate you to stop the spread. I haven't confirmed that though. But it would explain how their growth curve has flattened out so much
