Since the calculated lethality of COVID-19 is ~ 1%, then working back from deaths to cases, there are 4,900 cases of COVID-19 in the US.
Subtracting the confirmed cases (2,174), there are at least 2,726 people with the virus running around in the US who have not been diagnosed and are merrily going about their daily lives passing on the disease to the rest of the population because of inadequate testing.
