Duh.
The official CDC estimate is that for every person who gets a positive test, 3 got Covid-19 and never got tested (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/burden.html https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/burd...). This ratio has slightly declined over time (it used to be 4.2), but with the shortage of tests right now it is probably at least that.
Combine that with positive tests over 15% or more in most states, and we are already well over 50%.
