[Epoch Times September 3, 2021](Epoch Times reporter Gao Shan compiled a report) The results of a survey of blood samples of blood donors showed that more than 80% of Americans aged 16 and over have been exposed to the coronavirus (COVID- 19. The CCP virus) has a certain degree of immunity. This immunity is mainly obtained through vaccination.
The survey led by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also showed that the actual number of people infected with the CCP virus is about twice the official statistics. Since the 2020 epidemic, more than 39 million Americans have been diagnosed with the CCP virus.
The research conducted by the research team led by Dr. Jefferson Jones of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention hopes to determine how far away the United States is from a certain degree of herd immunity. But they have not yet stated that they have obtained any results.
They work with 17 blood collection organizations in 50 states, Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico to test blood samples covering 74% of the population. In the end, they tested approximately 1.4 million blood samples.
They published a report in the Journal of The American Medical Association (JAMA) that in July 2020, before the vaccine came out, only 3.5% of blood samples carried SARS- which caused the Covid-19 epidemic. CoV-2 virus (Chinese Communist virus) antibody. By December last year, this proportion rose to 11.5%. As of May this year, 83.3% of blood samples had antibodies to the Chinese virus, most of which came from vaccination.
At the same time, blood monitoring showed that in July 2020, only one-third of real infection cases in the United States were counted in public data. A year later, this ratio fell to one-half.
But the researchers warn that these data are all before the spread of the Delta virus variant. In addition, they did not measure another part of the human body’s response-one part involves cells called T-cells (T-cells, a type of lymphocytes that play an important role in the immune response.)-the other part May stimulate broader immunity. However, knowing whose body has antibodies will help inform public health work.
They pointed out: “Several large studies have shown that among individuals who have previously been infected with SARS-CoV-2 (Chinese communis virus) sero-positive, the incidence of COVID-19 (Chinese communis virus) has been reduced by 80% to 95%. Similar to the results of the evaluation of vaccine efficacy.”
They wrote: “This study will continue until at least December 2021, and the results of the study will be published on the CDC website.”
Data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services show that since the beginning of July, the hospitalization rate for COVID-19 (the Chinese Communist Party virus) in the U.S. has been steadily increasing, but it has begun to show signs of improvement.
According to data from the Ministry of Health and Human Services, the total number of people hospitalized due to the epidemic almost tripled in July and doubled in August. In the past 8 weeks, the total number of hospitalizations increased by an average of 25% over the previous week.
But in the past seven days, the total number of hospitalizations in the United States has only increased by 2%. In fact, in the week of August 24, the number of new admissions decreased by 134 from the previous week.
In Florida and Texas, the total number of hospitalizations due to the Chinese virus accounted for nearly 30% of the total number of hospitalizations in the United States. In the past week, the hospitalization rate in Florida has dropped by 11%, and the hospitalization rate in Texas has also stabilized, which has greatly contributed to the improvement of national data.
But the hospitalization rate remains high. According to data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, there are currently 102,804 people in the U.S. hospitalized due to Covid-19 (the Chinese Communist virus) infection, accounting for 72% of the peak in mid-January. Overall, the hospital bed occupancy rate across the United States is about three-quarters, and the intensive care unit is 80% full.
In addition, in the last 3 weeks, more than 500,000 children have tested positive for COVID-19 (the Chinese Communist virus).
