Recently, according to data from Johns Hopkins University in the United States, the cumulative number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia reported in the United States has exceeded 81.08 million.
According to the latest report released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on April 26, local time, about 58% of the U.S. population has antibodies produced by being infected with the new coronavirus—calculated based on the U.S. population of about 330 million, that is About 191.4 million people in the U.S. have been infected with the new coronavirus, it said.
And among U.S. children and teens, the proportion of the population with antibodies from being infected with the new coronavirus is higher, at about 75%, compared with about 45% last year.
The report pointed out that the new crown vaccination rate of children in the United States is lower than that of adults, which may be the reason for the high infection rate among children.
The study did not measure whether people who had been infected with the new coronavirus had high enough antibody levels to prevent reinfection, and the CDC noted that vaccination remains the most effective form of protection.
