For a long time I was just taking the figures on COVID deaths and multiplying by 100 to get a rough idea of how many cases, and it was always several times the number of confirmed cases.
The antibody tests will hopefully eliminate the need to do that kind of estimate - I also am somewhat glad the fatality rate is probably much less than 1%. But it's so damn infectious. Just hoping we can start to test enough to identify when asymptomatic or presymptomatic cases start to decrease as well.
