Gosh. That IS interesting. 24th Feb Milan -8 April. 4.5%

I wonder whether we have done similar research on blood donations here in the UK...analysed by date, Region and postcode

That would be fascinating.

Interesting for a number of reasons.

4.5% was at the start of the study and progressed upwards as it continued.
IgG more prevalent in the young (suggesting earlier infection?) whilst iGM more prevalent in the old.

Would appreciate feedback from experts, however.
Even at 8th April 2020, so over a month ago, prevalence stood at over 10%.

I wonder what it is now?
Age groups of blood donors may not be evenly distributed.

If not then then it may provide some supporting evidence for SKorea opinion that they needed to interrupt circulation of the virus vigorously in the young to prevent it reaching the more vulnerable/ elderly
