Right, it's an interpolated number (much like flu infections and deaths every year - it's actually shocking if you look into the flu how truly few are actually recorded and not estimated)
But the numbers for the smell were calculated using reported cases. OBVIOUSLY, they would be lower if calculated as a percent of the entire group of possible cases. Especially when you consider the overwhelming majority of unreported cases are because the people didn't have any symptoms

I'm not sure how they would have shown up in the stats. I'm not sure that it's true that the overwhelming majority have NO symptoms, but of course a lot of them do.

In any event, the chances of me getting covid and losing my smell are WAY higher than me dying in a car wreck in the next year or so. And certainly higher than me going to Mars.
