You fail to understand that the number of deaths is a hard and fast number. Trying to predict how widespread an infection is, is the issue. The belief is that if everyone was tested you would see a lot more people have had this virus and the clear and simple number of deaths would not change. Obviously you need to conclude that the spread of the virus is already prevalent so extrapolating the number of infected is more relevant than the number of deaths caused by the virus. The two numbers do not go hand in hand and the number of deaths is the clear and defining number to be used as a % number of deaths to those infected which should be extrapolated if the sample was taken across the entire state.
