Antibody study suggests coronavirus may be far more widespread than previously thought

GOOD NEWS!!! Right?
We might need to slow our roll on this COVID-19 panic.
Now that antibodies testing is starting to happen more frequently, it is looking like COVID-19 was in the USA earlier than it is commonly being reported and a lot more people had it and got over it and are not likely to get it or be carriers of it again.
from the story;
"At the time of the study, Santa Clara county had 1,094 confirmed cases of Covid-19, resulting in 50 deaths. But based on the rate of participants who have antibodies, the study estimates it is likely that between 48,000 and 81,000 people had been infected in Santa Clara county by early April."
If so, it isn't nearly as dangerous as we thought. Good news, right?

There was no need to panic in the first place.

They're trying a little too hard now to makes us all think it was real.

It’s too late to unring that bell!

Correct.
If we find out a lot more people have it then it's not as bad as we thought.
Of course, deaths suck, but we already know MOST people that have died had some type of immune disease or were unhealthy.

This is what your governor and I are hoping.

It's good news, if true. It's not really news though.
What we need are other studies that confirm this. There have been a couple. We need to get an idea at a granular level of where we are.
However, if for example Louisiana shows the same results, we would be dumb not to simply reopen and only try to protect the vulnerable.

We crashed the economies of the world. You think doctor, politicians and public health groups are going to allow any mainstream conversation on if we overreacted? This will get swept away with people patting themselves on their back for the lives that were saved.

yeah, Bing had an article featuring an elderly couple that died a day apart from the Chinese virus. I thought, wow, very sad, but surely this happens with regular flu and other illnesses, so I searched.
I found this sad article from a year ago about a young couple visiting Fiji. https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/news/2019/06/07/fiji-couple-texas-dies-flu-ruled-out-cause/1378637001/
It is sad, but people die and couples sometimes die together or soon after partner passes. It isn't really news.

Why do you assume there was a panic?

Who could've possibly seen this unforseeable development???

I hadn't seen it and did a quick search and still didn't, so I posted it. It is good news that should be spread, don't you think?

Good rule of thumb: If the article you find interesting is more than 30 minutes old; its already got a thread here.
Much less an article from 6 days ago.

bullshite. We had data from February i.e. Princess Diamond that heavily suggested the silent infected group was huge.
Trying desperately to rewrite history/

Can't be posted too many times.
This is about exposing the shoddy "science" behind the house arrest of 350,000,000 americans.
