I thought so. The total cases at the moment doesn't reflect the total amount of people who have had/ been treated for COVID19 so far. Once testing comes on line, the total cases will most likely rise substantially so don't freak out when it happens.

I think he is freaking out in anticipation of it happening.  The artificially low case count due to the White House suppression of testing is well known in the coastal media.
