30-40% of COVID infections are completely asymptomatic[1]. Experts estimate that 62-65% of the US has had COVID.
So, a US resident who hasn’t experienced any symptoms during the pandemic is about as likely to have had an asymptomatic COVID case as to have not had COVID.
Of course, the specifics depend on a person’s activities, geographic location, and whether they were tested despite lack of symptoms. But other than a few people who tested frequently throughout the pandemic, nobody in the US can conclude that they haven’t had it.
