Those studies are actual numbers, but unless you test ever single person in the United States, you have to extrapolate the numbers. That’s pretty basic science.
If you only use those who were sick enough to be tested and then tested positive, and ignore the mild and asymptotic cases, your results will be dramatically skewed.
