Numbers published today by UT Health. Also breaks down some demographic numbers, showing that people younger than 30 have a seroprevalence estimated to be around 29%.

I'm still looking for the actual text of the study. It looks like the testing was done on volunteers over the last several months. Seems like the numbers may be a little low if they received a significant amount of samples before the December/January spike.

The study does not seem to include vaccinated individuals, these are people who have infection related antibodies.

Feels like that might be a little light given ~9.5% of the population had a confirmed case. That would be around a 2.5x multiple where some other estimates were hypothesizing 4-5x on average.

Not that personal anecdotes mean anything but in my own circles I'd bet somewhere around 1/3 to 1/2 of people I know had it over the last year which would be down the fairway of that 4-5x.

Just keep getting shots in arms... I'm ready for a river float trip.

Antibody isn't the only thing so 24%, means even higher immunity. I bet 30+% have had it. And even more if this is including some tests from months ago

University of Utah had a similar covid study. They came up with 10.3% for non-vaccinated people. higher in the age 12-18 group, lower for the older folks. An additional 9.9% had been vaccinated at the time that were in the study. As of January 31 I think. Lots more people have been vaccinated than have had covid now.

Estimated 1.4 undetected cases for ever 1 know covid case.

I never got tested. Had brain fog a couple of days in October. Took off Friday and rested over the weekend.

Just tested positive for the antibodies for the second time with blood donation.

Nearly everybody who donated at blood bus in the parking lot tested positive.

Maybe 20% tested positive. MAYBE.

I read it as almost everyone tested positive for antibodies but only around 20% had actually received a positive covid test.

This is what I was wondering. Interesting if this is what they were trying to say...

Zero in my family, immediate or extended have had it.

Zero of my 5 or so non-work friends I still keep up with.

Zero of my close work associates.

A few coworkers and a vendor are the only ones I know to have had it.

Crazy.
