Also, this stuck out to me from the nih.gov summary:
“The estimate of COVID-19 cases in the United States in mid-July 2020, 3 million in a population of 330 million, should be revised upwards by almost 20 million when the percent of asymptomatic positive results is included,” said senior co-author Kaitlyn Sadtler, Ph.D., chief of the NIBIB Section on Immunoengineering.
From the article itself[0]:
"Our results estimate that as of July 2020 there were approximately 4.8 undiagnosed infections (95% CI 2.76-6.81, Fig. S6) for every identified case of COVID-19, suggesting a potential 16.8 million undiagnosed infections by July 2020 in addition to the reported 3 million diagnosed cases in the United States."
It seems like the original quote should actually read "should be revised upwards to almost 20 million".
