THE REAL NUMBER OF coronavirus cases is much higher than the recorded infections, according to a new study from the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control.
The research, published Tuesday in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, looked at antibodies in blood samples taken from 10 geographic regions. Researchers found a range from six to 24 times the number of documented cases, but most sites likely have 10 times more infections than reported, according to the study.
"The findings may reflect the number of persons who had mild or no illness or who did not seek medical care or undergo testing but who still may have contributed to ongoing virus transmission in the population," the study said.
Further data was published Tuesday on CDC's website, reflecting that New York City was the area with the highest percentage of the population with antibodies as of early May at roughly 23%.
Officials in the U.S. report more than 3.85 million cases of the virus, according to Johns Hopkins University. Even if the real number is ten times that, it still is not near what is needed for herd immunity, which would need to see 60-70% of the population infected.
The study echoes comments from CDC Director Robert Redfield last month, when he estimated that the country actually had more than 20 million infections at the time.
"A significant majority of the American public – probably greater than 90% of the American public ... remains susceptible," Redfield said in June.
It is also unclear what level of protection antibodies give people and how long that protection could last.

So?
I found this:
I think that would add exactly one (zero) to the right of the decimal place, if my calculations are correct.
Well duh. People are afraid to be tested because of all the tracking BS.
So, you mean the death rate is lower than the flu? Then, why did we shut everything down? Don’t answer because everyone knows that it’s an election year.
We have a race for the biggest liars with numbers.
WHO, CDC and CNN.
It’s neck and next coming down the line.
24 24 24 do I hear 36? 36?
36 from the man in the white coat!
36 36 36 do I hear 47? 47? 47...
With all due respect to Dr. Richard Bartlett and his curing his over a dozen patients with the use of Budesonide... I have NOT read any news or paper telling us that the Japanese, Singaporeans or Taiwanese are using Budesonide to treat their Covid-19 patients. Dr. Bartlett never gave us any news reports or links. He just simply said they were using it to cure their patients.They also don't have infected Mexicans crossing their borders skewing their numbers.
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
Then we are building herd immunity.
Hey, “numerator” and “denominator” are tough words and even tougher concepts. Go easy on Americans.
hmm... could same be true for the regular “seasonal” flu?
Which might mean we’ve reached “herd immunity” and can stop this b.s. (Except the democrats think fear, riots, looting, and murders will convince people to vote for them!)
HEY! You’re not supposed to figure that out. Keep it on the down low. If people think this herd immunity thing is going on then they won’t take the vaccine and will see through this mask hoax.
That’s what I say!
So.............that means we have been played yet again. The mortality rate is lower than that of the common cold.
Don’t be confused. It IS politicized in an attempt to remove President Trump. Also, be skeptical of anything the media/leftists/LIB/DIMs say about anything. They have a severe character flaw...lying all the time.
I came here to say; this is going to end up like that Philly voting precinct that voted 110% for 0bama.
I noticed that, too. It seems that many of the hardest-hit states are on the southern border.
