Presently:
1 in 31 persons have been infected (was in the 90s mid-summer)
1 in 89 persons are actively infected (was pretty steady in the low 130s for a long time, now in free fall)
1 in 1,350 persons have died (was in the 1700s mid-summer)
Again, the usual caveats: this is based on what testing is being done. I saw yet another article the other day that still claims the actual number of positive cases could be 10 to 20 x higher in many areas.
Mitigating that is that some of those actively infected aren't walking around, they're quarantined or in bed or in hospital.
My rule of thumb is official cases X 5 is still probably low, even taking all that into account.
