Via @WSJ - a #CoronavirusUSA study out of Santa Clara County, CA suggesting up to 4.2% of residents there have antibodies against the virus meaning the true infection fatality rate is somewhere in the range of 0.12% to 0.2%. wsj.com/articles/new-d… @TPPF /1
I suggested the same, based on emerging data out of a number of nations when I wrote in @FDRLST on Mar. 18 that the virus had a fatality rate "likely not too different than can be expected every year from common influenza" thefederalist.com/2020/03/18/the… /2
.@MollyJongFast then tweeted I was trying to kill people with @MartieTolman, one of her followers, calling for my arrest. (Seems a common issue with some folks and data, which is what it is.) /3
Followed by the Wonkette's @RobynElyse on the same theme here: wonkette.com/is-the-federal…. At the end of this damn #Coronavirus from #China, with trillions of dollars spent and generations set back, what will they say? /4
In the meantime, I'm thankful that studies appear to confirm what we saw early on in South Korea - that this virus is more widely spread, with far more people showing antibodies to it, meaning they had mild to no-symptoms, meaning that it is less deadly. /End
