Nearly a third of them ended up testing positive for exposure to the virus. That's almost 33% of people involved in this study who had had the virus at some point and never even knew it.

i truly believe most of us have had it at this point which is why this continued lock down is getting questionable.

How do you get tested if you don’t show any signs. The wife and I were sick as shite back in early January before virus took off and actually was introduced to the world. Wondering if we may had had it back then.

There are several places doing studies
Plus labs that will test you for a fee. No doctors order needed.

I don’t know about “most” of us, but I would imagine that the number is pretty substantial.

Antibody finger prick?
The Stanford doc tested over 3000 people.

We both had over 100 degree temps for days and sick over a week so why downvote. What a asshat.

Even if just 3%, it is a substantial number and heavily impacts the CFR.

These people have no idea how to deal with this virus. I dont even believe the testing is accurate.

Thanks! How does one find these places. Labcorp or quest?

Yeah, that’s why I think “most” is a gross overstatement.

Let’s anchor this thread folks.
This info is useless according to TruBrew.

The Stanford doc who did his COVID-19 anti-body study believes the true CFR to be right in line with the common flu. He's basing this assumption on the Santa Barbara County study that was already published and his impending Los Angeles County study that will be published in the coming days.

Stanford doc believes the spread is at least 50 times more than what we know right now.

How long does the antibody last? I've read about cases of reinfection. (Causes could be: not enough antibodies, faulty tests, or virus being biphasic)
Also, they've already found genetic mutations in SAR-CoV-2. So will old antibodies protect against new strains?
