New US figures suggest that as much as 80% of children may have had a coronavirus infection.
With so many people using at-home Covid-19 tests – if they’re testing at all – experts acknowledged long ago that the true number of cases is higher than what is officially reported.
Among 26,725 blood samples collected in May and June , nearly 80% contained a type of antibody that the immune system produces only in response to infection – not in response to the vaccines. The proportion of children with Covid-positive blood samples was slightly lower in Pennsylvania , New Jersey and Delaware , but still well above official reported totals, said Dr Craig Shapiro, an infectious diseases specialist at Nemours Children’s Health in Delaware.
While some of these infected people may have tested themselves at home and did not report the results, others probably had no idea they were infected and never got tested, Dr Shapiro said. But the differences were small, and on the whole, the blood samples paint a clear picture: Reported case totals are missing lots of infections, he said.
