It’s just a very large population that’s been tested whether they’ve shown symptoms or not. Not very different from the cruise ships but way more people.
More to it as well. We don’t simply say “our employees show 10% infection, the state is 10% as well”
We break down those tested by age, job title, etc, and then match those rates with states represented population to then assume what the states infection rate is

8% of the state is 375k people. Not out of line with the New York studies.
Did y’all break down by location? Was Nola higher with it being more densely populated?

Haven’t seen it from that view but I can only assume Nola was higher than other areas

I think that we're at probably 5% nationwide, and you'd obviously expect Louisiana to be higher than that, so I definitely think that 8% could be about right.
And I firmly believe that restricting groups over 50 and with people wearing masks, and with all the social distancing policies that businesses are implementing, we'll be able to go about our normal lives and keep the R value under 1 this summer.

I wonder how long the antibodies last, too. If someone got this in February, would they still have enough of them for the test to show a positive?
Posted on 4/30/20 at 12:36 pm to lsupride87
My wife just took the test today fwiw. Should get results tomorrow. Since I had it, she’ll likely come back with a positive.

igM no, IgG yes

Speak English to me, Goose.

there are short-acting "rapid response" antibodies and longer acting antibodies more specific for the pathogen
IgM is the short-acting, IgG long-acting. IgG take longer to build but go away much slower.
If you were infected in February, your SARSCoV19 IgM will probably be low or undetectable and IgG high.

Thank you.

Just found out it’s the lgG test. So that’s good.
Posted on 4/30/20 at 1:55 pm to ell_13
yeah, people get false negatives all the time if only the IgM is drawn for various disease states.

There are some like the Abbott Labs, Mount Sinai, Othro-Clinical that are just testing for IgG.
I think the couple of studies I read a little on looked for IgM and IgG (several other tests are doing this as well).
One from Vibrant is testing for IgM, IgA, and IgG (pic from their website).

So the virus isn’t that deadly and the hospitals aren’t overwhelmed. Get back to work
Those early numbers at ochsner and umc, particularly in the icu was absolutely insane. The mortality isn't a big deal, but longterm morbidity is something people keep overlooking.
We should start opening things up slowly and carefully though.

New York state antibody testing of random folks at grocery stores showed a .6% mortality rate, similar to Pride's numbers.

Ochsner is using Abbott Labs

UW was allowed to test it and seemed impressed.

Yeah, I think that the FDA realizes now that they messed up when they decided to let anyone sell any kind of antibody test, whether it actually works or not, as long as they didn't claim that it could diagnose COVID-19.
All kinds of crap flooded the market and has really exacerbated the arguments that people are making about infection and fatality rates, as bad data is leading to dubious claims.

Can you elaborate? I may have missed this.
