US likely 'dramatically undercounting' current COVID-19 resurgence, experts say
Since last summer, dozens of states, alongside the federal agencies, have opted to scale back on regular COVID-19 data reporting.
Hasnain says:
“"I think that we're dramatically undercounting cases. We're probably only picking up one in seven or one in eight infections. So when we say there's 30,000 infections a day, it's probably closer to a quarter of a million infections a day," FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb said during an appearance on CBS' "Face the Nation" on Sunday. "They're concentrated in the Northeast right now. And that's because a lot of people are testing at home, they're not presenting for definitive PCR tests, so they're not getting counted."”
