Document: is the (which was not peer-reviewed) The copyright holder for this preprint . https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.03. 15.20036582 doi: medRxiv preprint standard epidemiological parameters, both of which are collected routinely during the initial weeks of nascent epidemics. Although other approaches -namely, serological surveys -could have provided more direct answers to the question of how many unobserved infections there were in the weeks following the arrival of SARS-CoV-2 in the US, serological assays were only beginning to be developed at that time (23) . Relative to other approaches, ours offers the ability to quickly obtain provisional estimates of the number of unobserved infections early in an epidemic, when there still might be time to act on that information with testing and case isolation.
