Why call it a “dark case” ?

How about an asymptomatic case ?

Was thinking like dark matter, you can't measure it directly, but you can infer its size from other signals.

Also it's not just asymptomatic cases, it's also symptomatic but not tested. Some people ignore it since it can present as a minor cold. Some people want a test but can't get one.

Yeah idk, just sounds a bit dramatic / alarmist.

The media would love this term. Maybe you should try patent it.
