Currently diagnosed cases: 33,217,627
Actual likely number of cases: 90,986,000
Likely number of missed cases: 57,768,373
So, estimated missed cases are nearly twice those of diagnosed ones. I suspected the number of missed cases would be astronomical, and they are - if these numbers reflect reality. I suspect they’re within the ballpark. But the confirmed case numbers assumes that the test for coronavirus is reliable. There are serious doubts about that. CDC recently advised to drop PCR test cycles from ~40 down to 27. Why was that done? To my understanding more cycles=more dubious positives.
