This also makes those "10 x more actual cases, than confirmed ones" estimates, appear way off.

If the actual number is closer to x5-6 ish range.

Also only 27,3% experianced no symptoms..... all that "80% dont even have symptoms" people been spreading is false.

Estimates were between 10 and 100x more cases than reported. This study is a magnitude below that while Italy was one of those that had a lot of catching up to do in testing, way behind at the start of the curve. Maybe they were that far behind at an early point but overall far less dramatic than the estimates thrown around end March, early April.
