美国实际新冠感染人数可能是官方公布数字的两倍

The true number of Covid infections in the United States may be double the official figures according to the country’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
美国疾病控制和预防中心报告称，美国实际新冠感染人数可能是官方公布数字的两倍。
After analyzing findings, the CDC said as of Jan 31, 140,018,000 people have been infected in the US.
经过分析调查，美疾控中心报告称，截至1月31日，美国已有140018000人感染新冠病毒。


This is just under half of the nation's total population, 43 percent, and nearly double the official case count. The total also includes reinfections.
这一数字占美国总人口的43%，几乎是官方公布确诊病例数的两倍，其中还包括再感染病例。


Severe undercounting of Covid cases has long been expected by health experts, as currently only people that get tested are included in figures.
长期以来，卫生专家一直认为新冠病毒感染人数存在严重漏报，因为目前官方数据只包括经过检测的人。


There are many people that might know they are sick and likely have Covid, but don’t bother to get tested.
还有很多人可能知道自己生病了，可能感染了新冠病毒，只是懒得去做检测。


Around a third of Covid cases are also asymptomatic, meaning a person could be actively infected and have no idea.
大约三分之一的感染者是无症状感染者，这意味着有人可能并未察觉自己感染了新冠病毒。
