By early March 2021, roughly 65 million people in the U.S. — or one out of every five people — had been infected by the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, a new analysis shows.
The findings, described in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggest that roughly 60% of coronavirus infections had gone uncounted at that point — adding to a growing body of evidence that the pandemic’s true toll is far greater than official tallies show.
“It’s good to see people start estimating how far we potentially could be off,” said Jennifer Nuzzo, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, who was not involved in the study.
Scientists have long been aware that the official coronavirus numbers don’t capture the full story. One study that looked at life insurance applicants suggested the number of cases might have been twice as high as the official tally; another model suggested that deaths worldwide were roughly double the reported count.

Daily we shall see morbidity number drop.
Flu numbers will rise.
“Cases.”
Oh NO!
(Is it really a disease if you had it and didn’t even know it?)
They have let hundreds of THOUSANDS of Illegals in who tested POSITIVE and Bused them all over the Country. Now they are worried about the “New Variant” and they want the rest of us, who ARE Vaccinated, to wear a mask after they told us we are not able to catch any Virus or give it to anyone else. They need to clean up the ILLEGALS mess they have unleashed in our country, THEN Vaccinate them and make THEM and anyone else who is not vaccinated wear masks. No wonder people aren’t getting vaccinated when the Government can’t make up their mind if it keeps people safe from the Virus or not!
May be double? Equally plausible that it could be half.
There is NO empirical reason to accept either of these ‘guesses’.
NYS counts probables and repeat positives of the same patient as new cases.
Our stats are crap.
Bet the other 56’s are as well.
Which would mean the death rate per cases would be half of what is reported.
This would show that the true toll is far less not far greater.
CDC Quietly Revokes RT-PCR Emergency Use Authorization Because They Counted Covid-19 and Influenza Together (7.25.31)
Corrections, insights welcome.
So 20% of the population has natural immunity? Maybe slightly less for those with malfunctioning immune systems. What portion of them are the unvaxed? That number should be added to the vaccinated count.
And why isn’t the CDC focused on immunity rather than jabity? Has anyone asked St. Fauci?
After all...didn't the CDC just admit their test couldn't tell the difference between COVID and the flu?
Because we’re careful with reporting the correct data.
Bingo!!!!
excellent point
Or actual numbers may fall given the unreliability of the test.
Yes, The death rate would be far less.
Red Cross data suggests 20% of unvaccinated blood donations show presence of antibodies. Blood donors may not be the ideal sample population but it is empirical evidence that the covid infection count is double the official numbers.
These epidemiologists really don’t know, do they?
True morbidity figures were never accurately arrived at, not even a ball-park estimate.
What appears to have happened is that a great deal many more people contracted the disease, it ran its course, they were then immune, and theoretically would not NEED a vaccination of any kind. But no antibody testing on a large scale was ever done, so real numbers cannot even be guessed at.
CDC Pulls PCR Tests Because they Can’t Differentiate Between COVID and Flu; California News Silent
California Globe reported inconsistencies with Gov. Newsom’s $100 million COVID-19 testing lab in December

The Center for Disease Control is finally pulling the flawed PCR tests because they can’t differentiate between COVID and the Flu. But it appears California news outlets are too busy fear mongering the Delta Variant to notice or care.
The Southern California News Group reported in the Orange County Register that masks are mandatory again in OC Superior Court “after two people in the building tested positive for COVID-19.” Two people tested positive. Are they sick? Are they hospitalized? Have they died?
“So far, more than 260,000 people in the county have contracted the disease,” the SCNG reported. Imagine if the sentence said, “more than 260,000 people in the county have contracted the flu.”
“The disease.” What happened to the virus? What the SCNG article doesn’t say is the more than 260,000 people who contracted the “disease” is the total number for the last 16 months.
Orange County’s population is 3,175,130. In April, Dr. Clayton Chau, director of the Orange County Health Care Agency and acting county health officer proposed a pilot program for “vaccine passports” in Orange County – a “show-me-your-papers” or “digital passport” program to provide COVID vaccination evidence.
Or it may be half, or it may be three times the official numbers, or it may be one third. Actually, they don’t really know, because they have never done serology tests on the entire population, and without it they are guessing.
More like the number of real cases is just 10% of the official tally.
