COVID’s long-term effects on organs and immunity are likely culprits, but reduced healthcare access, delayed diagnoses, and societal neglect of public health measures also play a role.

“In this study, we show that the Simoa serology assay and T-cell intracellular cytokine staining assay are more sensitive than the clinical Elecsys assay for detection of nucleocapsid-specific immune responses. These data suggest that the prevalence of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection in the population may be higher than currently appreciated.”

The CDC recommends opening windows and doors for ventilation, wearing masks in crowded areas, practicing regular handwashing and being up-to-date on Covid and flu vaccinations to avoid getting sick. “
