The gist of the report is contained within the following:

people infected in Santa Clara County by early April, 50-85-fold more than the number of confirmed cases.

SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in Santa Clara County implies that the infection is much more widespread than indicated by the number of confirmed cases.

Something lots of folks on here having been saying was a possibility for several weeks now.

Hope it's true. That would positive things ahead.

Dow finishes up just over 700 at 24,242.92. That is the highest close since March 16th. Now if the PPP can get resolved, there will be even more optimism......which is a good thing.

 

[Soonerinkc]

Sorry. Basically with so many more people possibly infected(50-85x) than what current testing has allowed the numbers to show, then the true mortality rate could be 50-85 times lower than what was previously thought. This was conducted in Santa Clara county California by a Stanford researcher.

Just some new information that gives some hope! Not everything has to be doom and gloom all the time, guys. Some people on this board would have you think our species is dam near extinction. It's ridiculous.

Ah... yeah I agree..with this.

So do I.

The doctor in this vid will explain in detail how the virus attacks the body, but does it with rudimentary drawings and understands everyone does not possess a medical background thus it is not inherently boring like most explanations. Definitely worth the time.

WSJ op ed on that.

It would make the death rate between .12 and .2.

Which makes our response laughable.

Scene in Jacksonville, FL today as they open the beaches. $10.00 says this is a bad idea.

Is that the Amity pier in the background?

Not if they’re all under 65 years old.

The solution to returning to a degree of normalcy in the workplace may be to isolate high risk people like me until a vaccine is available. It’s a sacrifice I would be willing to make.

There are exceptions, of course. But the article below shows that younger, relatively healthy people are not affected nearly as much as senior citizens, especially those with underlying health issues.

I have read that that picture is not from today, but a time before Cvirus. It looks nothing like that. Go to live pics of the same beach.

I'll bet a million billion this one is real as it gets.

...and the guy in the boat fishing off of the pier.

Strange reaction, especially since your live cam shot proved the point he was trying to make.

Was not sure what his response meant for I did not know if it was directed at me or not, and if it was, then I guess the link was not looked at. I mean the "million billion" comment was aimed at our resident baiter.

I just can't believe the media would ever misrepresent a story with a misleading picture.....color me shocked (sarcasm).

yes indeed....there are videos of folks getting arrested and where the police are saying the gov can suspend out Bill of Rights...
