What Are We Missing With Testing For The Coronavirus Disease?

Testing that is currently done on the patients is only focused on verifying if an active patient is infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus. We are however not testing everyone for the signs of having been previously infected with this virus, which means we are missing the total number of infected population.
