A phenomenological estimate of the Covid-19 true scale from primary data

Physics and Society 2022-01-31 v2

Abstract

Estimation of prevalence of undocumented SARS-CoV-2 infections is critical for understanding the overall impact of the Covid-19 disease. In fact, unveiling uncounted cases has fundamental implications for public policy interventions strategies. In the present work, we show a basic yet effective approach to estimate the actual number of people infected by Sars-Cov-2, by using epidemiological raw data reported by official health institutions in the largest EU countries and USA.
