15% is way low. Even the cdc is estimating closer to 35-40% have had this thing, and Texas has been one of the most open places on earth. I'd say 35% Is a conservative estimate, with 40+% naturally being immune is entirely possible
I don't know many that haven't had it or the vaccine. Like closer to 5-10%.
That's because nearly many who had it didn't even know themselves. They were either asymptomatic, or had symptoms hard to distinguish from allergies. The estimated case rate is anywhere from 3 to 5 times higher than the confirmed positive tests.
If you assume only Texas had 5-10% of their population infected, then you assume this thing had a death rate of nearly 2-4%. The highest death rates estimate 0.7%, and most in the 0.2% to 0.6% range.
As for the vaccine, not sure. Maybe people just don't talk about it? I know of a ton who got the vaccine.
