How Many Americans Have Had CoVid?
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/kynRXV62Dpk
A large US government study now reports that 41.6% of American adults have had actual CoVid infections. The CDC reviewed medical information from 1574 persons 18 years and older that was gathered from August 2021 through May 2022. The data included CoVid antibody data as well as surveys of patient symptoms.
A whopping 91.5% of study subjects had CoVid spike antibodies indicating either infection or vaccination. A total of 41.6% had the so-called nucleocapsid antibodies indicative of a clinical CoVid infection. Of the group with N antibodies labelling them as previously CoVid-infected, 43.7% never had any symptoms.
With a US population determined to be 333.3 million, these percentages suggest that 138.7 million Americans have had CoVid. On the other hand, the Johns Hopkins CoVid case tally based on positive PCR and home antigens tests is only 99.3 million suggesting an under-use and under-capture of accurate CoVid testing.
