Man, 38% of people tested for antibodies in this study in California came back positive. 45% in LA! (Not totally clear on the sampling methodology.) https://twitter.com/TAragonMD/status/1370268637425115140?s=20 …pic.twitter.com/4mRTY2vfJ7

I think the scientific literacy of the media has improved a lot this year but weirdly they still often only treat a case as real only if it's tested & reported by an authority. My in-laws watch these numbers with a confusing intensity ("did you hear it's up to 30M now!?")
This has also driven me crazy! Especially with regard to cases in the Northeast.
Oh yeah, for sure. I'm just surprised that a surge that came in December, really, still had a confirmed:infected ratio that high! I think this also suggests that many other places in the U.S. are at 50%+
Yep, the numbers are kind of hard to wrap one's mind around. The vaccination numbers are so high, too, and it hasn't yet sunk in, I think, in our visceral feel of where things are. (I keep doing the math to keep myself grounded. Also helping out at a vaccine clinic helps ground).
