Another study of seroprevalence that examined a community after a coronavirus wave also found that it picked some people and skipped others, said William Powderly, head of the Institute for Public Health at Washington University of St. Louis.
The wave dissipated even though a vast majority of people tested showed no antibodies, Powderly said, so they were susceptible to the disease raging around them but didn't catch it.
"Shouldn't it just cut through everybody and find everybody who is vulnerable?" he wondered. "The transmission dynamics of this virus are not completely worked out. . . . There is variability in the virus and variability in the population."
As to what will happen next, he said, scientists have to acknowledge "the necessary humility. I just think we don't know."
