Let me see If I can agree with what I think you're saying: 1) Currently we're pre-selecting for people who are in a hospital with something looking like nCov and which got tested. We don't currently know how many people have it but didn't get tested and as such isn't counted as an infected person. As we improve our testing ability, we'll find more cases which aren't hospitalization (and possible subsequent death) cases, pushing the rate lower.
2) Because we are testing more we'll also be able to tell that some of the cases that we aren't attributing to nCov are actually nCov cases, pushing the rate higher. Does that describe what you're saying?
