Nearly 60% of the U.S. population has Covid-19 antibodies, according to the CDC. This is the first time during the pandemic when more than half of Americans have shown evidence of the virus infection.

But even those numbers don’t offer a full picture of the virus’ presence in the country, CDC officials said on Tuesday. A soon-to-be-released CDC study indicates that from December to February there were an estimated three infections per reported case, varying by region, Kristie Clarke, co-lead for the agency’s COVID-19 Epidemiology and Surveillance Taskforce Seroprevalence Team, said during a briefing with reporters.
Clarke cautioned that the fact that most Americans now have antibodies does not guarantee them protection from reinfection or any kind of group immunity, noting that there is still not a known threshold at which the virus stops circulating.
