A pair of scientists believe that up to 270,000 residents of California have the novel coronavirus, 10 times more cases than have been reported.
The researchers estimate that up to 4.8 percent of the total US population was infected with the virus by April 6 - 40 times the number of confirmed cases.
They also suggest that almost 50 percent of New Yorkers, which comes out to around nine million people, are likely infected, reported the San Francisco Chronicle.

The bigger the denominator the less deadly it is. Something they don’t want to acknowledge. Less deadly than seasonal flu or a cold?
Not to sound crass, but even 50k deaths from this Wuhanic Plague were 50k murdered by the brutal Communist Chinese regime
We unwittingly flattened the curve.
If the Democrats and the media can get the economy to tank BEFORE people figure that out, they win. All hell will break loose and the facts won't matter. That's what they want.
RE: California has 10 times more coronavirus cases than reported - and HALF of all New Yorkers are infected, pair of scientists claim
That means the DENOMINATOR is large. If the numerator ( despite NY’s attempts at manipulating the numbers ) is not as large as they make it to be, then the MORTALITY RATE is actually much smaller than we realize. That is, if the title of this thread is correct.
If a lot of people got it and didn't die and didn't even have symptoms, then that sounds like the opposite of an hysteria feeding scenario.
Glad to hear you are fine...
I just wish I could know for sure. I think just knowing I already had it would reduce my anxiety.
I also noticed the number of daily sirens have decreased.
I heard so many last week, I thought one siren was a lady screaming at me. LOL. :)
I have heard the figure of 3%-5% of the total population of the USA infected from several doctors in the past, so this this new # comes in within this range. If truly at 4.8% then that makes the WuFlu/COVID-19 about 28% deadlier than a “bad regular flu” year (2017-2018 reg. flu season —> 61K fatalities, 45 million infected = 0.136% fatality rate) (WuFu/COVID —> 28,529 fatalities to date, 16,368,000 infected {4.8% of 341 million} = 0.174% fatality rate).
Are that this would be excellent news.
Proof or STFU.
Anything not backed up with verifiable data is not just bullshit but evil bullshit.
Terrifyingly you are probably not wrong. The ChiCom regime very well could have murdered more people covering their tracks than were killed by the virus.
My neighbor is a nurse. She says the wards are practically empty...including emergency.
The local Sheriff said he's not going to enforce any shelter in laws.
Stop posting this kind of tripe. It does no good for anyone.
The point is that the US is a diverse place.
The ‘Rats including the LSM want to treat all places the same. They call NYC New York disenfranchasing the rest of the State.
Governator Totally Witless has a yuge problem in SE Michigan and wants to punish the State for not voting for her too.
Same problem.
They are truly clueless and best not mess with the half that don’t drink the same Kool-Aid.
I’d really like to believe this is the case, and that herd immunity is the mechanism that will put the brakes on the outbreak.
But I just got off a videoconference with my 57 year-old infected cousin, and he is 7 days into getting his ass kicked by this. He spent Easter hallucinating.
Perhaps some of us, particularly the young, brush this off. The people I know who have it or are recovering all say this is unlike anything that ever happened to them before.
I don’t think there’s a chance in hell 50% of New Yorkers have it.
“A pair of scientists...”
So if you can get two scientist to say anything, you can obviously take that as gospel... Because they all know what they’re doing... Right?
Like the scientist from WHO that said this virus wasn’t infectious... Or said it was fine to fly... And said face mask and face coverings aren’t needed... We can always trust scientist because they’re always right... Like they’re right about global warming.
I believe there are less than 200,000 deaths globally. So a rounding Error on a rounding error. 7
Sure. And the two “scientists” are a phd student and her “data scientist” buddy who looks a lot like pajama boy.
Another Long Islander here. I posted on FR, back in the beginning of March, that I though I had the virus. I had the exact symptoms that you described. Two of my co-workers came down with these symptoms a week after I did.
I’ll be first on line for the anti-body test.
“”scientists””
