Recent news reports which said that 3 out of every 5 Americans has already had COVID caught me by surprise. All the counters I have been following for a couple of years have reported 80+ million cases in the usa, which for a population of ~332 million is 80/322 = 25%. That is a far cry from the 60% recently reported. What gives? What am I missing?
