The actual number of COVID-19 infections in the United States may be at least 24 times higher in some states, a new exam and research published Tuesday concludes through the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The study, the largest of its kind in the United States to date, found that the actual number of people affected by the disease in the United States is 2 to 24 times the total number of cases reported across the region and period. The exam published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
“For peak sites, there are likely to be more than 10 times more matrix infections… based on the number of COVID-19 cases reported,” the investigation noted.
The estimated number of infections ranged from 6 to 24 times the number of those reported in Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana, Missouri, New York City, Utah, and western Washington.
Research relied on antibody tests to trip over the presence of SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2), the guilty COVID-19 virus. The test analyzed blood tests conducted from March 23 to May 12 through advertising labs in Connecticut, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, South Florida, Utah, and western Washington.
In June, CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield admitted that the tests had omitted approximately 90% of cases in the country. The United States evaluates about 700,000 people a day.
The CDC study suggests that 642,000 more people were inflamed as of April 1 in New York, while only 53,803 cases have been officially reported. According to these estimates, the actual infection rate is almost 12 times higher than reported.
According to the CDC study, the same count occurred in South Florida, Connecticut and Minnesota, where the actual rate is 6 to 11 times higher than the official figure. In Missouri, infections can be thirteen times higher than the official count.
More worryingly, the review indicates that these revised figures are also likely to be underestimated. Evidence also reveals that many unknown asymptomatic carriers unknowingly transmit the virus.

A total of 57216 new instances and at least 970 virus-like deaths were reported Tuesday in the United States, according to Johns Hopkins University. Some 3.89 million cases of COVID-19 have been known in the United States and only 142,000 other people have died as a result of virus-like headaches.
The test entitled “Sroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies at 10 sites in the United States from March 23 to May 12, 2020”.
A March review published in the scientific journal Science suggests that the actual number of COVID-19 cases in the United States is five to ten times higher than the reported number. In April, several public fitness experts reported that total actual COVID-19 cases in the United States, China, and Italy may be at least 10 times higher than official figures.
Dr. Elizabeth Halloran, a biostatistics at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the University of Washington, told Business Insider that recent models imply that the actual number of COVID-19 instances in the United States can be five to 20 times higher than existing ones. Figures.
