The only two absolute known factors are deaths and US population. Anything else is guessing.
this and the CDc has openly said they estimate at least 10x the people that test positive are positive. In the NE ago during the first peak they wouldn’t even test people unless they were almost dead. A lot more people have had and do have it than what the numbers show.
