The numbers are basically meaningless. The actual number of people infected is likely orders of magnitude higher. Without massive testing of the population, we know nothing.
My wife, a doctor, thinks she may have had corona back in February. Returned from a trip to India in mid Feb, immediately got flu like symptoms. All the markers of Corona, including a cough that to date has not went away. She also got a case of conjunctivitis at the same time, which we are now reading is a possible symptom. She called and tried to get tested and was denied.
Point is, the disease was likely already endemic in the US 6-8 weeks ago. With no testing, we simply have no clue who much is out there.
