Study says actual number of Covid-19 cases is far greater than thought

Updated July 21, 2020

The number of people who have had Covid-19 is much greater than the official case count, according to data and a new analysis released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday.

美国疾病控制和预防中心周二公布的数据和最新分析显示，感染新冠肺炎的人数远远超过官方统计的病例数。

Depending on the region and the time period, the number of people infected was anywhere between 2 and 24 times the number of reported cases, the CDC team said.

疾病控制中心的研究小组说，根据地区和时间段的不同，感染人数是

报告病例数的2到24倍。

In New York, the CDC estimates suggest that 642,000 people were infected by April 1 but at that point only 53,803 cases were officially reported. That means the number of infections could be at least 12 times higher than reported, the CDC said. The CDC says the number of cases in South Florida, Connecticut and Minnesota was 6 to 11 times higher than the official count, the CDC said.

在纽约，疾病预防控制中心估计到4月1日有64.2万人被感染，但那时官方报告的病例只有53803例。疾病控制中心表示，这意味着感染人数可能比报告的至少高出12倍。疾控中心说，南佛罗里达州、康涅狄格州和明尼苏达州的病例数是官方统计数字的6到11倍。

These numbers are likely conservative, according to the study in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The data used in the analysis was published on the CDC website.

根据《美国医学会杂志》的研究，这些数字可能是保守的。分析中使用的数据发表在疾病预防控制中心的网站上。
