What does "multiple (the number of the flu-like deaths) by 20+" mean?
If the number is n, then the speaker/commentor means "20 (or more than 20) multiplies n" (n x 20)?

In the same article that you use the Diamond Princess cruise ship as a case study for fatality rates, you estimate that 1% of the U.S population might be infected. The Diamond Princess cruise ship saw nearly 25% of the ship’s passengers infected. Perhaps multiple your “lost in the noise” 10,000 influenza-like deaths by 20+.
The above is a comment from the source below.
