Now the CDC has removed their testing data from the website. We no longer know how many they've tested, and therefore cannot work out a percentage.

This may be due to nefarious reasons, or simply incompetence. Either way, we're in the dark.

What we do know (or did before they removed the test data) was that the numbers tested were laughably low, so low that any statistical analysis would be pointless, especially with what we know about the infection rate so far.

South Korea's numbers seem the most reliable (or transparent) so far. They're the ones to watch.

It’s sad to me that we were once the nation to watch as being on top of this type of thing. Now, look where we are....
