Of course it is limited by testing because more than 300 million have already been infected. The testing is lagging way behind the infection spread.

MUMBAI (Reuters) - At least one in four people in India may have been infected with the coronavirus - a much higher number than official government figures suggest, the head of leading private laboratory says.
Dr. A. Velumani said an analysis of 270,000 antibody tests conducted by his company Thyrocare across India showed the presence of antibodies in an average of 26% of the people, indicating they had already been exposed to the coronavirus.
Mass immunity success.
