The US has undercounted the number of deaths caused by COVID-19, Anthony Fauci, top US infectious disease expert, said on Sunday.
美國頂級傳染病專家安東尼•福奇5月9日說，美國實際新冠死亡人數(shù)被低估。

"You know, the model says that it's a significant amount, as you mentioned correctly, 900,000. But, you know, sometimes the models are right on line, sometimes they're a bit off," Fauci said in a TV program, responding to a question as to whether he believes the true death toll is as high as suggested by a new study from the University of Washington. "But I think there's no doubt that we are and have been undercounting. You know, we're living through a historic pandemic, the likes of which we haven't seen in over a hundred years," he said.
福奇在接受一檔電視節(jié)目采訪時，回答他是否相信真正的死亡人數(shù)和華盛頓大學一項新研究提出的數(shù)字一樣高的問題時說："你知道，基于模型計算得出的死亡人數(shù)是一個很大的數(shù)字，正如你所說的，90萬。但你知道，模型計算數(shù)據(jù)有時準確，有時會有偏差。但我認為毫無疑問，我們一直在低估新冠死亡人數(shù)。你知道，我們正在經(jīng)歷一場百年未見的歷史性的疫情。"

The US reported a total of 32,707,359 cases with 581,752 deaths as of Sunday, according to the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University.
據(jù)約翰斯•霍普金斯大學系統(tǒng)科學與工程中心的數(shù)據(jù)，截至5月9日，美國共報告新冠確診病例32707359例，死亡病例581752例。
