Still, the total reported cases in the US is 460k, so if there are 100 unreported cases for every reported case, that's 46 million, or 1 in 5 people.

But I'm open to new evidence. At the very least, we'll know in a week if this still makes sense. ;-)

I'm just reading about that city in Germany, Gangelt, where they did those blood tests to 1000 people, they found out that 2% are actively infected, and 14% have the antibodies (indicating a prior infection):

So we're talking 1 in 7 for that particular city.
