NEARLY 60 PERCENT OF AMERICANS NOW HAVE ANTIBODIES FROM COVID-19 INFECTION
The Omicron BA.2 subvariant now accounts for most cases in the country, with the
number of BA.2.12.1 subvariant cases on the rise particularly in the Northeast.

Nearly 60 percent of the U.S. population has antibodies due to Covid-19
infection, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a steep
rise that marks the first time during the pandemic when more than half of
Americans have shown evidence of the virus infection.
For children, the numbers were even higher, according to the new CDC data. About
three in four children and adolescents had Covid-19 antibodies in the December
2021 to February 2022 study period, in keeping with the age groups’ lower
vaccination rates compared to adults.
The evidence of the virus’ long reach in America comes as case numbers continue
to rise across the nation. The seven-day average case count for last week was
44,416 as of April 25, up more than 20 percent from the week before.
Hospitalizations also rose during that time period by over 6 percent.
The Omicron BA.2 subvariant now accounts for most cases in the country, with the
number of BA.2.12.1 subvariant cases on the rise particularly in the Northeast.
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.
The rise in the presence of antibodies from 43 percent of Americans in January
to 57 percent in February was also faster than CDC officials expected.
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.
In children in particular, Covid-19 can be severe, with 20 to 30 percent of
children hospitalized with the virus going into intensive care units, and
children developing post-Covid conditions, Clarke noted.
“As a pediatrician and a parent, I would absolutely continue to endorse that
children get vaccinated, even if they have been previously infected,” she said.
Vaccination rates among children in particular remain very low, with only 35
percent of children aged 5 to 11 having received at least one dose, and
vaccinations still unavailable for children under five.
