Your March 2 numbers include Diamond Princess cases (45?) which have not been in contact with the rest of the population.

No there are other estimates of a few hundred cases in the bay area that are sensible. Or at least they were a week ago. To get two in-the-wild cases serious enough for hospitalization and testing (overriding the CDC testing criteria at the time) you'd expect there to be at least around 100-200 cases at the time of hospitalization.
