Only random testing numbers are usable. Most people wait until they have symptoms to test skewing the results, positive results in testing numbers can be 2-50 times higher than the percentages of positives in the general population, depending on how common the symptoms are. This number can be easily ascertained with simple controlled studies but it can vary greatly from city to city based on the popularity of testing in the culture and the requirements for testing at various major employers.
