Nearly 5 out of 6 coronavirus cases were undetected in pandemic's early months

By last summer, after the first wave of the pandemic, there were roughly 16.8 million undiagnosed coronavirus infections in addition to the roughly 3 million that were confirmed. The researchers calculated that for every infection that had been officially tallied, about 4.8 others were uncounted. With a more complete picture of coronavirus infections, the research team reported that: Antibody presence was far higher in women (5.5%) than in men (3.5%). Black Americans had the highest rate of past infection (14.2%), followed by Native American/Alaska Native (6.8%), Latino (6.1%), white (2.5%) and Asian (2%) volunteers.
