Con tantas personas usando pruebas caseras (que en su mayoría no se reportan en los conteos oficiales), ¿cómo podemos rastrear de manera confiable la transmisión de COVID-19?
Data and Metrics Posts en Español Testing and Contact Tracing
Sandra Albrecht, PhD MPH
El uso de pruebas caseras complica el registro de todos los casos nuevos, ya que si alguien se hace una prueba casera de COVID-19, posiblemente no informe los resultados (ya sean positivos o negativos) al departamento de salud. Como resultado, el conteo total de casos nuevos y el rastreo de positividad (pruebas positivas/pruebas totales) se …
Has almost everyone been infected with COVID by now?
Data and Metrics
Jennifer Beam Dowd, PhD
A: Recent estimates suggest around 58% of the population in the US and over 70% in England have been previously infected, with BIG increases during the Omicron wave. The CDC recently released an MMWR report estimating the percentage of Americans who have been previously infected with COVID-19. The estimates came from the CDC’s National Commercial …
With so many people using home tests (which mostly go unreported), how can we rely on COVID-19 data to understand community levels of transmission?

Amanda Simanek, PhD MPH
A: With more people using home rapid tests interpreting local COVID-19 data does become murkier, but a useful addition is wastewater surveillance! TL; DR Keeping an eye on local wastewater surveillance can help round out understanding of community transmission as it doesn’t rely on testing or reporting of test results. ✳️Home testing is great because …

Postcards from England…. here we go again?! Like many things in this pandemic, this feeling of déjà vu all over again is getting OLD.

We hope so, but not necessarily…. the recent dramatic fall in cases looks A LOT like what we saw last year at this time. Even though falling cases and herd immunity talk make it *feel* like the pandemic is ending, we should remain humble and remember that these predictions have been wrong before. The Nerdy …
