While COVID-19 infections in San Diego County have increased 40% over the last two weeks, there are still many people who have never been infected by it.
58% of Americans have been infected over the last two years. That number went up from 34% at the end of last year, which means that most Americans got infected during the Omicron surge.
Despite the high numbers, there are still many Americans who have never been infected by the coronavirus. "I still think there are a lot of people who have perhaps been fortunate enough or privileged enough to be able to shelter themselves for the past two years who could very well still get it. Where they take a different approach to living their lives," said Dr. Jennifer Nuzzo, with Brown University's School of Public Health.
