| IcaroRibeiro said: Roraima will be the first Brazilian state to get rid of Covid. Good news right? Well... not really. Roraima has an estimated 8% infection rate and current projection get as high as 12% in the next 2 months And of course, those numbers are fairly under reported Regardless, they will achieve herd immunity before the year end, unless the virus suffers some mutation |
Boa Vista had 25% seropositivity months ago, so I'd assume this 8% is at least five times underreported, even though it's probably the highest anywhere in the world for PCR tests.
By the way, today we have results from Maranhao from over 3,000 random blood samples, showing the state at 40,4% seropositivity:

I'd assume most states from the North and Northeast, and Rio, have similar numbers.
