Arizona has begun antibody testing in their state. So far 3.5% are testing positive. That would mean 255,500 have had coronavirus in state as opposed to 10,526 who have tested positive. A 25x factor which drives death rate down to .2. That is, 99.8% of all infected people recover
This also adds Arizona to San Francisco, LA, New York City, Miami, & Boston studies, all of which have found the same thing: the virus is far more common & far less deadly than all of the experts initially told us.
These antibody studies haven’t received as much media attention as I believe they should have so if you see them please DM me and put antibody study up top. It’s nearly impossible for me to keep up with mentions or DMs now, but I try to share these studies with my audience.
Miami has done a randomized antibody study and gotten the same results twice: 6% of Miami-Dade county was positive, 16.5x the number of people who had tested positive. Here’s their methodology: miamidade.gov/releases/2020-…
