The coronavirus still has a long way to go. That’s the message from a crop of new studies across the world that are trying to quantify how many people have been infected.
Official case counts often substantially underestimate the number of coronavirus infections. But in new studies that test the population more broadly, the percentage of people who have been infected so far is still in the single digits. The numbers are a fraction of the threshold known as herd immunity, at which the virus can no longer spread widely. The precise herd immunity threshold for the novel coronavirus is not yet clear; but several experts said they believed it would be higher than 60 percent.
Even in some of the hardest-hit cities in the world, the studies suggest, the vast majority of people still remain vulnerable to the virus.
Some countries – notably Sweden, and briefly Britain – have experimented with limited lockdowns in an effort to build up immunity in their populations. But even in these places, recent studies indicate that no more than 7 to 17 percent of people have been infected so far. In New York City, which has had the largest coronavirus outbreak in the United States, around 20 percent of the city’s residents have been infected by the virus as of early May, according to a survey of people in grocery stores and community centers released by the governor’s office.
Similar surveys are underway in China [....]

Meta note for PP: see how the embedded links did not paste live for me? I am using Chrome for Windows.(It's Windows 7, that might have something to do with it?) I highlight and copy on nytimes.com, I paste here, and what you see above is what I get. Doesn't happen with any other site! Other sites, the links paste live when I copy and paste here on Dag as the NYTimes used to only a few months ago. I noticed recently that this happened to rmrd as well when he pasted NYTimes copy...
Edit to add: there is one live link in the NYTimes article on Fauci and Kramer that I posted just below this story. That's only because I physically added it using the link icon here after I pasted the copy. Note there is supposed to be another live link in that clip, with Fauci's name. That's dead because I didn't bother to edit it in.
