A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted in the past several days could offer what one behavioral health expert called a "fascinating" hint of the possible numbers.
In the nationwide poll, 2.3% of Americans surveyed said they've been diagnosed with the coronavirus, a percentage that could translate to several million people.
Of course, it's impossible to know if the answers are a result of misinformed self-diagnoses, untested professional diagnoses or test-confirmed infections.

The CDC doesn’t know?
Fire them all.
I don’t trust polls - ever.
“The CDC doesnt know?”
They were behind on the actual outbreak of infections, I’d hardly expect them to not be way behind as it becomes fashionable.
...but we are going to go with it. Ugh.
..and a Fox Poll shows Biden crushing Trump

Color me skeptical.
2.3% Americans = 7.6 million Americans divided by 2211 deaths = .03% mortality rate...
Reuters, a BS poll from a BS news org.
Even the CDC needs test data to know. Not enough testing is being done. Nor can it be.
Worldometer currently shows for USA:
124K cases
118K active cases
2.7K serious cases
2.2K deaths
53K cases and 880 deaths are NY state alone.
One thing I hope CV renders a dead remnant of the old world is POLLS!
ENOUGH!
Remove NY and our cases and deaths drop a whole lot.
We should do a poll here on Free Republic. I don’t have it. Next.
+/- 3%
“In the nationwide poll, 2.3% of Americans surveyed said they’ve been diagnosed with the coronavirus, a percentage that could translate to several million people”
Although we know this poll is bullshit we’re going to run with it.
Did anybody die from anything else today? This is beyond ridiculous.
We havent even done that many tests, not even close. IOW, this is utter BS! Just more fear-mongering by the useless-as-tits-on-a-boarhog media.
I’m thinking these people have been lying to get out of work. They got the poll call and thought it could be a trick, so they wanted to remain consistent with their story.
Gee if only someone had ordered tests to be prepared in, say, January... we might not all be completely in the dark about this.
I didn't die today. But I can't speak for any other Freepers!
