Your task is to predict the verdict of a claim based on the provided question-answer pair evidence. The possible labels are: 'Supported', 'Refuted', 'Not Enough Evidence', 'Conflicting Evidence/Cherrypicking'. Justify your answer using the provided evidence and select the correct label.

Claim: 19 million people in the UK have already been infected with the new coronavirus.

Q1: What is the basis of this claim?
A1: A research paper in the International Journal of Clinical Practice.

Q2: What did the research find?
A2: evidence that by the end of the 2nd week in April, 26.8% of the population may already have had the disease and so have increased immunity

Q3: Was the evidence provided from testing people?
A3: No, because The daily published cases in England in each of 149 Upper Tier Local
Authority (UTLA) areas were converted to Average Daily Infection Rate (ADIR), an R
value—the number of further people infected by one infected person during their infectious phase with Rate of Change of Infection Rate (RCIR) also calculated. Stepwise
regression was carried out to see what local factors could be linked to differences in
local infection rates.

Q4: Has this research been criticised?
A4: Yes, because Carl Bergstrom, a professor of biology at the University of Washington, has tweeted "An odd research study out of U. Manchester today uses an indirect and, frankly, bizarre method to estimate the incidence in the UK as being vastly higher than that inferred using more direct approaches."

Q5: When was the claim made?
A5: 15/05/2020

Q6: As of May 15th, 2020, what was the cumulative total of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the UK?
A6: 226,041
