Which means . . I guess . . that there could be at this moment in time 1,000,000 people walking around with very mild Covid symptoms (or no symptoms at all) that they're putting down to just a cold or mild flu, and not bothering to get tested.

Therefore the number of 'reported' cases could well be the tip of a very large Covid iceberg.
