About one in three people in the county has been infected with COVID-19 since the pandemic began, according to new estimates this week from L.A. County s DHS COVID-19 modeling team.
That adds up to more than 3 million of the county s 10 million residents having the coronavirus at some point, more than triple the amount of confirmed cases reported by the county so far (
989,928 total).
Why the discrepancy? The new estimates are based on updated scientific modeling, health officials say.
