A member asked:
Please can you tell us how many people are sick with the new coronavirus and not just the number of positive tests? do we know, if you test positive, are you a carrier and could you infect other people?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Coronavirus : It is a difficult to question answer because not everyone who registers symptoms of COVID have COVID and not everyone currently is being tested due to lack of supply or other issues. If you are interested in statistics, I would refer you to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. It's numbers are continuously updated, and it will give you information on City, State, County, and Country.
