A month ago, infection levels were at or above the levels of the worst prior surge of a year ago. Now, they are at THREE TIMES that level!
The national average infection level is down this week, but only slightly. It is down to around 3%. At this point, over 20% of the U.S. population has reported a COVID infection.
Based on the CDC Nationwide Antibody Study from Commercial Labs, they estimate that the total infections had reached 31% at the end of November which was about 15% of the population having unreported infections, or double the reported number.
That would suggest that at least 15% and more likely 20% or more of the population have had unreported infections currently. This would make the total of prior infections to be 35% to 40%.
