Popis: The true number of infections from SARS-Cov-2 is unknown and believed to exceed the reported numbers by several fold. National testing policies, in particular, can strongly affect the proportion of undetected cases. Here, the authors propose a method that reconstructs incidence profiles within minutes, solely from publicly available, time-stamped viral genomes.
