COVID-19 Antibody Seroprevalence in Santa Clara County (There she goes)

Mortality rate is going way way way down. LOL Going to look like the Titanic in its last few minutes.

These prevalence estimates represent a range between 48,000 and 81,000 people infected in Santa Clara County by early April, 50-85-fold more than the number of confirmed cases. Conclusions The population prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in Santa Clara County implies that the infection is much more widespread than indicated by the number of confirmed cases. Population prevalence estimates can now be used to calibrate epidemic and mortality projections.

Translation:
1) Highly contagious
2) Very low mortality rate
It's possible that tens of millions of Americans had this virus at some point but remained asymptomatic.

At a very high ramp-up rate/volume, this still translates to thousands of people dead and overwhelming hot-spot healthcare institutions.
But yeah, mortality rate is extremely low. Does the "prevention/cure" over-shadow the virus?
In the end, I think it absolutely will.
Wars will be fought over this.

So it’s “Just the flu bro”?

Wait until they start looking at negative flu tests for those presenting with flu-like symptoms late last year and very early this year

No that means we would have already had that happen, but it never did.

Yeah more or less, but it actually could be significantly less than the flu, depends on whether we have immunity.
- the vast majority of people are asymptomatic
- even the ones that showed symptoms, not enough to go to the doctor or hospital
- death rates will probably be significantly less than the flu (?)
- its still possible that immunity occurs
The data we had in February all pointed to these conclusions. I don't want to say its a nothing burger because if you are in your last < 1%, this disease could take you to the bone yard.

Santa Clara county is also 42% Asian and is the epicenter of Silicon Valley. So there was LOTS of travel to and from China.

We're talking silent infected here, although health and age of people could change around the country as far as rate... basically this thing was around for a long time.
Its still possible in places in like NO and NYC the death rate will be higher than CA, that's not the issue.. the issue is tons more people have it.

Results The unadjusted prevalence of antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 in Santa Clara County was 1.5% (exact binomial 95CI 1.11-1.97%), and the population-weighted prevalence was 2.81% (95CI 2.24-3.37%). Under the three scenarios for test performance characteristics, the population prevalence of COVID-19 in Santa Clara ranged from 2.49% (95CI 1.80-3.17%) to 4.16% (2.58-5.70%).

I've been saying for weeks that this virus has been here a lot longer than people realize. A lot longer.
Our government got all of this wrong. I understand why they did what they did, but it was all wrong-all people invovled in this.
Sad that our economy had to take a hit over this.
Life goes on though.

We already had data in February that more or less show the silent infected were high. But let's say we didn't know, either way the present policies really didn't make much sense considering the infection rates... and the limited impact of a small group of people.

You’re mixing two very distinct groups.
Asymptomatic carriers and previously exposed and recovered are totally different groups. We’ve known about the first for a long time. We are only starting to learn about the second.

Yes and no, because we had the Princess Diamond data which suggested this was the most likely outcome, but not proven as no anti-body test at that time.
I gave a thumbs up, yes, two different groups but even than the data was showing what they are proving now.

Fox News reporting this study as we speak.
