I heard on the news they estimate 80% of our population has had Covid but I can’t find that data anywhere using a search engine. Does anyone have that information?

I can’t see how we can possibly know for sure, but a figure I saw yesterday was 750,000 infected in one day and 2100 dead, a third of the global death count for the day, that’s staggering.

This site has comprehensive numbers

Only site I could find that wasn’t relying on the New York Times which apparently can’t be trusted here.

I'm not sure now, but about 1 or 2 months ago they said more than 70%, so that 80% could be accurate.
But how can we really know for sure that it was Covid and not the flu as recent articles have come out stating?
FWIW

So less than 35%? Read earlier but didnt get the link that 60%+ of the US is now vaccinated, almost 63% IIRC.

We’re sitting at 80% in Canada, which is still not good enough as our ER’s are being crippled right now.

Let's not confuse vaccinated vs those who got Covid.
Many vaccinated have also gotten Covid but this thread was about the percentage of those who got Covid.

I didnt realize you were the authority on whom could post to whom and the subject of the post must also meet your criteria. I suggest you put me on ignore. I don't believe my post confused the recipient. Maybe you're confused about the reality of forum threads...going off topic or opening a different but related area of a topic interest is common.
