Italy is at 53,000+ confirmed cases of SARS-Cov2.

This would assume they have tested upwards of 200,000+ patients in order to get a 25% infection rate.

I'm using 25% as a conservative figure. If you liberally drop this down to 10% infected tested, we'd have to be at 500,000+ successfully administered, processed and reported RT-PCR tests.

Side note: Roche's best machines, for example, can process 4,100 RT-PCR tests in a fully automated fashion and this not just a machine on a desktop, but a full-blown assembly line operation.

Intriguing.
