Several antibody tests have come out (Santa Clara/Stanford, LA/USC, NY city and statewide, Miami Dade) showing anywhere from 4 to 21% of the general public are positive-- just antibody-positive which is only a subset of #SARSCoV2 positive. Why only a subset? /cont

/It takes maybe up to 2 wks after exposure to become antibody positive. And these studies were being done on the people about 2 to 4 weeks AGO. We're talking about 4-6 weeks of LAG. The way #COVID19 virus is spreading, we all know how many multiple of more people /cont

it may have already exposed in this 4-6 week duration despite all these measures. It is already widespread. It also means its #CFR is way less than what they said; it's equal to or less than seasonal flu's. Time to end #lockdown NOW!
