It also changes how people react and what they do.

Right now I see so many people carrying on their life as usual, because they think there aren't many infected people around them. That impression is a consequence of the lack of testing. It's likely that there are quite a few people around them who are sick and spreading this disease, and if more people realized that they'd act differently.

Resources and isolation measures are also directed to places where there are a lot of known infections, but if those infections are undetected very little gets done about them.

The relative lack of testing is a nightmare in the making.
