I know, but my point is more with the currently unknown asymptomatic percentage. You're right that the ratio would be no different between Telluride and New York. With the Diamond Princess there was ultimately a 20% asymptomatic rate at the end of observation (down from 56% when the observations began), but it was also an older population and there may have been other factors at play. Iceland of course had a study that claimed a 50% asymptomatic rate, but that may have similarly contained a large number of presymptomatic people just like the initial overview of the Diamond Princess.

The difference between 20% and 50% is still enormous, even if neither back up the idea of significant percentages being infected yet.

I'd love to see more of these studies be done for a much larger sample size to show what the scope of spread has been so far, with less of an inherent social distancing.
