US Covid-19 infections believed to be ten times the official number of confirmed cases
"Our best estimate right now is that for every case that was reported, there actually are 10 more infections," Dr Robert Redfield, director of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says.
"It's clear that many individuals in this nation are still susceptible," Dr Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , said on a call with reporters on Thursday. Twenty million infections means that about six percent of the nation's 331 million people have been infected.
In a likely sign of the situation's seriousness, Vice President Mike Pence announced that the White House coronavirus task force would give a press conference Friday at the Department of Health and Human Services, the first of its kind in almost two months. Since mid-May, when the government began stressing the need to get the economy moving again, the panel's public health experts have been far less visible than in the pandemic's early weeks.Texas stops reopening
