On the true numbers of COVID-19 infections: behind the available data 2020-05-28 .txt text/plain 2755 164 58 Among the concerned information, there are the incubation period [1, 2] , the reproduction number [3] , mortality rate [4] , and the asymptomatic proportion as in [5] , where was used the data of the Diamond Princess cruise ship; which means that the study is done on a closed population, a fact that is worthy to mention. Our aim in this work is to approach the true number of infected cases, and to develop an analytical method in order to allow the simulation of different scenarios that can occur if we modify the underlying variables of two special 1 medkadmiri@hotmail.fr 2 hassanfa@yahoo.com 3 y-hassou@fsr.ac.ma probabilistic functions. Let us denote this distribution function by Pd(t) -(d)-subscript as detected, and "t" as time representing days since infection-and write its explicit expression in the following manner: To do so, every time tn= n-days, we recalculate the numbers of infected and detected cases, where t0 = 0 is the moment of illness onset for the entire population. ./cache/cord-303657-o66rchhw.txt ./txt/cord-303657-o66rchhw.txt
