The 11,000 or so test that have been done in the UK, does anyone have any idea if they are just on random patients or on ones with symptoms or possible exposure?
They are testing patients with breathing diffculties but no reason to suspect Covid-19 in 100 GP practices: http://www.pulsetoday.co.uk/clinical/clinical-specialties/infectious-diseases/100-gp-practices-to-take-part-in-opportunistic-testing-for-coronavirus/20040205.article
There are suggestions a GP in Haslemere was identified this way but I haven't seen that confirmed. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/29/officials-try-to-trace-contacts-of-first-patient-to-catch-coronavirus-in-uk

From a data perspective seems like a key piece of information needs filling, that is how many asymptomatic cases there are in relation to cases with symptoms.
