But in a surprise move, authorities recently released a study showing that 190 million Americans have been infected with the coronavirus, but many of them were not included in the data, suggesting that the situation in the United States is far worse than it appears. The reason why a lot of data is not tracked is that some families prepare their own test kits, so their test results are known only to themselves, and if they are not reported, they will not be known to the authorities. In addition, some people are asymptomatic and may not even know they have been infected, so they will not be included in the data if they are not tested.
