The flu infected count is in March 2020, by the CDC report, 45 million people. The tested number is only 43 thousand people, basically 1,000 to 1. Why? Because most doctors simply treat the symptoms and send people home, and many people never seek a doctor, they treat using over the counter meds.

I suspect, since this virus presents very much like the flu, the same is happening. I believe, as do many medical professionals, that millions have already been infected but only to levels of sickness seen with the flu.

Common cold, actually. The Wuhan virus is in the same family as four other viri that all cause the common cold. Course, SARS and MERS are in there too, but this one doesn't seem to be near as bad as them, for most people.
