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.

So if the hockey stick models were right we should be waist deep in corpses.
I live in Long Island and I do think I had the virus.
Never was tested, but I was sick for a few days the last week of February.
Mild fever, sore throat, runny nose.
I want to get the antibody test to know for sure.
Awesome, her immunity and the hospitals are NOT overrun
Anyone can claim anything.
well in that case my 41 first cousins, 20 aunts and uncles, 20 good friends and everyone they know have been lucky enough not to get symptoms because no one I know has even had a sniffle. That’s got to be close to several thousand people. All of my cousins have kids and they and their kids have friends. all of my friends have kids and parents and friends and nobody knows anybody that has been sick.
not only with the virus. I cannot say I know of a person that has told me they have a cold
And these days everyone is claiming everything.
the manifest, manifold failures in the virus saga are legion, but the biggest black eye probably belongs to big data.
Noo Yawkers = those who live in or very close by NYC?
What about the rest of the State that “he was never very great” Cuomo ignores?
And I am a really sexy guy, or so I claim.
Yeah...I’m a male lesbian.
"“Sounds like a massive stretch to me,” said George Rutherford, a professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at the UCSF School of Medicine. “I’m highly, highly skeptical.”
The 1918 flu took two years. U.S. Swine Flu was from April 2009 to August 10, 2010. It seems unlike that a virus from the same family as SARs could spread so fast. If it did, it would be likely that earlier SARs outbreaks would have already spread as fast and caused as much trouble already.
There’s no way that you haven’t been exposed to the virus by now. New York City will return to normalcy before rest of the country because they are approaching herd immunity.
2 million dead globally.
World population 7.7 bi!!ion.
Not to sound crass, but that’s a rounding error.
Another feed the hysteria keep the country shutdown story this one from the Trump hating Brit paper.
1. The case/fatality rate is a small fraction of what it seemed to be before any good data was available.
2. We're much closer to achieving herd immunity than anyone thought. With sufficient herd immunity, this virus will die out.
Me too.
I went to a concert in Suffolk on March 7th. 5 days later I had the worst headache I ever had and my temperature was up one degree. Three days later I was back to normal.
One other friend at the concert also got sick.
I wonder how the rest of the crowd fared.
obviously the hockey stick models were wrong. Now maybe we can all give thanks to God and open up the country
I don’t know of anyone having it in California.
The sky fell in MY backyard yesterday!!!!!!!! SOOOO tired of this B.S. It is turning out as a way to exclude anyone without papers....TEST papers...think about it.
