The Johns Hopkins virus dashboard counted more than 27,000 new cases Wednesday alone, a day that saw almost 1,000 U.S. deaths. More than 113,000 Americans have died since the virus emerged here just a few months ago.
Even the eye-opening, 2 million infections is a lowball number, says Melissa Nolan, an infectious disease expert and professor at the University of South Carolina. The latest information from the CDC suggests that for every four symptomatic cases there is one asymptomatic case, which would suggest that the true infection burden nationally would be about 2.4 million, she says.
And it's not just the United States. Globally, more than 7.4 million cases have been reported, and there have been more than 400,000 deaths. India is reporting a spike: Nearly 10,000 new cases reported Thursday. South Korea, the world's success story for its triumphant effort to flatten the curves for new cases and deaths, is now seeing a worrisome infection boom.
Nolan says the protests will not necessarily fuel the pandemic. Omenka agrees, although acknowledging that current information about the spread of the virus indicates public gatherings of any kind could have an impact.
