By the end of March, 1 in 7 New York adults had Covid-19 -- about 10 times higher than the official account, according to a new study sponsored by the New York State Department of Health.
This adds to a growing body of evidence that the virus was much more prevalent early on in the outbreak than health officials thought at the time. "Every public health person and infectious disease person in the country is going to line up and say yes, for sure, there's no doubt about that," said Dr. William Schaffner, a longtime adviser to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
There could be several reasons why early case counts dramatically underestimated the number of Covid infections. Some infected people may have had no symptoms, or only mild symptoms, and so never went to the doctor. Others might have wanted to get tested but couldn't find a doctor to test them, given the shortage of tests in February and March. It was winter virus season, and so some people who actually had Covid might have been diagnosed with the flu or another illness.
