In the weeks since the coronavirus outbreak has squelched daily life in America, researchers have struggled to assess the true spread of the virus. But initial results from a Northern California study on coronavirus antibodies suggest it has circulated much more widely than previously thought, according to a report released Friday.

The preliminary study, conducted by researchers at Stanford University, estimates that between 2.5% and 4.2% of Santa Clara County residents had antibodies to the new coronavirus in their blood by early April. Antibodies are an indication that a person’s immune system has responded to a past infection.

 

FDA just approved Labcorp’s new COVID-19 home test.

I've been telling you guys my boss had this in January and gave it to some of my coworkers.

I’m about 80% certain I got this mid December.

 

Early January for me. Docs said it wasn't, but looking back I am not so sure.

 

Can anyone explain why their mortality is much smaller than worldometer and news?

There were a lot of people sick here in Oregon during December and January.

 

That hotline is already shut down. Too many people were texting memes and pictures of politicians not social distancing lol. I tried to text a picture of DeBlasio in a crowd of people from the week before and the number was shut off.

 

Hahaha that’s awesome!

 

If we are going back that far, I had a couple week minor headache, stuffy allergy type feeling, some body soreness, but no coughing or throat issues.

the corona be like......

 

My Mayor just posted this:

 

My boss missed work and was coughing like he was going to keel over when he came back. He said he thought he was going to die. He'd been back for a week or so and wanted me to go see him in his office and I wouldn't. He said he wasn't contagious and I said the same thing I always say to that...

How the fuck do you know?

So I stood outside his office and talked to him.

He coughed for about a month. I noticed because I was starting to get allergies and he was still coughing.

 

There are businesses that can be opened with masks and social distancing. Bookstores, furniture, auto parts, housewares, craft stores, etc. Georgia governor making a point of opening precisely those where masks and social distancing are impossible. Got to show he's Trumper than Trump.

 

I think even that is overdoing it.

Their peak is actually expected in 4 days. Opening anything now is just idiotic. It all comes back to what I've been yelling about for a month now: we STILL don't have sufficient testing to know the true spread. The response continues to be idiotic.
