cord-167157-z0lvcb3z	Wang, Xiubin Bruce	Controlling the Hidden Growth of COVID-19	2020-05-19		.txt	text/plain	4853	283	61	A major result indicates an existing infections estimate at about 10-50 times the daily confirmed new cases, with the stringent social distancing policy tipping to the upper end of this range. However, our method to estimate the undetected number of currently latent and active infections is based on the publicized numbers of the daily confirmed cases without having to resort to the epidemic process simulation. Day by day over a period of time, newly confirmed cases are reported by the number N 1 , N 2 , ..., and N n .The study is to use the daily confirmed numbers of infections to estimate the hidden infections and their trend of growth or declination. The above example scenarios, all assuming the epidemic is under control by having the total newly confirmed cases flat over a period of days, indicate a large number of currently active and latent infections in the population ranging from 6 to 50/60 times of the daily confirmations.	./cache/cord-167157-z0lvcb3z.txt	./txt/cord-167157-z0lvcb3z.txt
