Wow that’s incredible. 200 million Americans could have the virus.
- sebiche 6y agoThey mean 50-80% of cases, not 50-80% of Americans.
- cataflam 6y agoThat's not what it says. It says if you tested everyone, out of those who tested positive, 50-80% would be asymptomatic, not 50-80% of the whole population.
- hellofunk 6y agoAh, thanks for the clarification. That was indeed not obvious to me the way they worded it.
- IAmGraydon 6y agoNo. 50-80% of cases are asymptomatic, not 50-80% of the nation is infected asymptomatically.
