Unmasking the Actual COVID-19 Case Count

© The Author(s) 2020. Published by Oxford University Press for the Infectious Diseases Society of America..

This report presents a novel approach to estimate the total number of COVID-19 cases in the United States, including undocumented infections, by combining the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's influenza-like illness surveillance data with aggregated prescription data. We estimated that the cumulative number of COVID-19 cases in the United States by 4 April 2020 was > 2.5 million.
