CDC Says, For Every Coronavirus Infection Detected, Ten Others Undiagnosed
KEILAR: Just a short time ago, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention held a coronavirus briefing. And among the headlines, for every infection that has been detected, ten others have not been diagnosed, so that is 20 million Americans. Senior Medical Correspondent Elizabeth Cohen is joining us now to discuss this. That number is -- I mean, it just bowls you over, it's huge, Elizabeth.</s>ELIZABETH COHEN, CNN SENIOR MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: It is huge and many people suspected this was the case. But, Brianna, to see this in writing, you know, from the CDC is really stunning. This was something that Dr. Redfield talked about today on this call. What that means is that ten times more people are spreading this virus around than we thought. That's huge. I mean, just the -- even the numbers, as we know them, that's a huge number. But to have ten times more people spreading this virus around than we thought tells you how difficult it is going to be to get this under control. And, Brianna, in that very eloquent essay that you just read, you talked about the mistakes we've made in the past. Moving forward, we now know that we are dealing with an even bigger challenge. We have ten times more cases to get under control.</s>KEILAR: And as we see experts kind of -- they almost learn day-to-day of new information what is going on and the risks associated with coronavirus. This has to do with having coronavirus while being pregnant. What can you tell us about that?</s>COHEN: Right. There was a lot of question marks here, a lot of things that we didn't know. So this study has come out and this is a big deal. So this is a study of more than 90,000 women with COVID. When they look at women who were pregnant versus women who were not, all of them had COVID, but the ones who were pregnant, 32 percent were hospitalized. The ones who were not pregnant, 6 percent were hospitalized. So that suggests that there's something about this virus with pregnancy that it does not combine well. Now, when we look specifically about what is being affected, 46 percent of these hospitalized women were Hispanic, 23 percent were white, 22 percent were black. Those percentages that is way more Hispanic women and black women than you would expect to see based on the population.</s>KEILAR: Yes, it is. Elizabeth, thank you for that. Iconic brands, Disney and Apple, struggling to reopen, plus dozens Secret Service agents and campaign staffers are quarantining right now after the president's rally in Tulsa. We'll hear why. And what we went wrong in California? The state that took some of the strictest precautions initially is now seeing a sharp rise.
