Story at a glance:

Researchers estimate that nearly one-third of the U.S. population, or 103 million Americans, got COVID-19 last year. Nearly half the residents of Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami and New York City were likely infected in 2020, according to a new analysis. In a year to year comparison, starting from spring 2020 to spring 2021, the percentage of people who died from COVID-19 dropped from 0.8 to 0.3 nationwide.

While official numbers report nearly 20 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 last year, according to The COVID Tracking Project, researchers estimate that nearly one-third of the U.S. population, 31 percent or 103 million Americans, had COVID-19 at some point last year.

Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health researchers determined that fewer than one-quarter, 22 percent, confirmed their positive diagnosis for public health reports through testing, according to a news release by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

Considering these numbers, in a year to year comparison starting from last spring, the percentage of people who died from COVID-19 dropped from 0.8 to 0.3 nationwide.

Joe Biden on Friday said he and Dr. Fauci discussed requiring Covid booster shots every five months. ...
The Pfizer CEO gave away the game plan earlier this week during an interview with Fox News. ...
A booster every 5 months is going to turn into a shot every 3 months in order to protect against “variants.”

And the amazing part is there was no other virus detected by the medical community from early spring 2020 until the end of 2020. /s

So much for herd immunity.

They couldn’t kill off enough with the versus so they’re pushing the vax.

I wonder what the stats are now, from spring 2021 to late summer 2021.

And the percentage of folks infected; could it be 2 in 3?

And if recovered folks have less of a chance of getting it again, that helps everyone else.

No need for mask or shot mandates; Florida and Texas are doing the right thing by setting up monoclonal antibody centers so —early treatment— can be done.

Did they get antibody tests (ECLISA 72hr, T-cell, IgG IgM IGA)?

I swear I had mine at Thanksgiving 2019, so November here too.

Many Californians were sick during that time period with something we were calling a "mystery flu." Once the Covid panic hit you didn't hear much about it again.

ECLISA should be ECLIA.

I thought the same thing because the respiratory virus I had then came with a cough that lasted almost 6 weeks. But then I tested positive on the 10th of this month for covid and had over a week of minor symptoms before full recovery. The covid was much less sever then the one I had in Nov/Dec 2019. So now I'm thinking the one in 2019 was not covid and now I have natural immunity. And no, I was never vaxed with that experimental vax.

“Many Californians were sick during that time period with something we were calling a “mystery flu.” Once the Covid panic hit you didn’t hear much about it again.”

We live in N. California, and I probably had the crud a little before Thanksgiving, and it was in full vigor by Thanksgiving.

Then, one of our adult sons may have gotten it at Thanksgiving or a little after. He was really sick and lost over 30#’s, and he was not overweight.

We belong to the same PPO and have the same doctor. That son asked the doctor in late January what he had.

The doctor said probably the same thing your Dad had, and we really don’t know what he had.

A grandson got sick after Christmas and was sick for a few days.

None of the women in our lives even had a cold.

My family has probably had it. We had many teenagers in and out of our house all year, even a couple parties - the young people liked coming over since we did not require masks. We liked having them at our home as we new our child and friends were not getting into foolishness like underage drinking.

CV19 herd immunity probably increased exponentially after it first started spreading in my non-medical opinion. Correction welcome.

By first half July 2021, we get the following perspective about healthy, natural herd immunity (my wording).

But I also suspect that jabs interfered with natural immunity in my non-medical opinion. Consider these sobering allegations.

Corrections, insights welcome.

FWIW, I think there’s are some major issues with that study.

GIGO.

I don’t think anyone died of anything but covid19-24 during that time period?
