Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said many experts believe more people have died from coronavirus than have been reported.
“Most of us feel that the number of deaths are likely higher than that number,” Fauci told the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions (HELP) today.
“Given the situation, particularly in New York City — when they were really strapped with a very serious challenge to their health care system — that there may have been people who died at home who did have some Covid who are not counted as Covid because they never really got to the hospital,” Fauci continued.
Fauci said he's not sure "exactly what percent higher" the real death toll could be.
"But almost certainly it’s higher," he added.
