They found that it's likely ~44 million people were infected in a period where the CDC only has 1.8 million infections.

Remember when liberals were mad at Trump for implying testing less would lead to less cases?

    :joker-amerikkklap: 1.8 out of 44 million?! I'd be ashamed if I was that far off on a "estimate the jelly beans" jar, much less, y'know, condemning nearly 10 million people to extended periods of suffering just to maintain the facade of normalcy. How bad does an estimate have to be before it is just a lie?

    17% of the populace had COVID at one moment

    21% of those infected within 4 weeks reported long-COVID symptoms

    It's been something like 2,000-4,000 people a week dying of covid since the summer, and we're probably undercounting.
