a new, very large (over 70,000) and apparently well-designed antibodies (serology) study from spain suggests that about 5% of spaniards have been infected with covid. As in the united states, prevalence varies greatly by region, with a high of 14.2% in soria province and 11.3% in the madrid region all the way to under 2% in asturias, the canaries and the north africa enclaves of ceuta and melilla. Two key takeaways. This study suggests that roughly 90% of cases go undetected in official government tallies and that the true infection mortality rate is 1.1%. We’ll return to this topic later. But the 90% number is notable since it is broadly in line with other serology studies which show a ‘true’ prevalence of infection usually in the 10x to 12x range compared to official tallies.
