1/5 As California's stay at home order is lifted..this is the latest on the fight against Covid according to firsthand knowledge from people on the front lines. Longitudinal studies through 2021 will latently tell us the final word.
2/5 but I am consistently told that open-air business is not a significant cause. Covid positive rates is massive in multi family apartments and condos where the internal habitation Census is between 5-14 occupants per dwelling (these are two bedroom max habitations)
3/5 people squeezed-in..mostly working poor/service workers..are showing 25-43% positive active COVID. Also antibody studies showing positivity rate of persons who have already had Covid are 3 to 5 times higher in multi family squeeze together versus single-family houses.
4/5 Also a contact tracer relies strictly on what the person wants to tell them, while Covid relief worker makes firsthand observation. Many times a person doesn’t want to get family/friends in any sort of trouble or start the domino effect, so the tracer doesn't get true story
5/5 "Adam positivity rates in certain apartments/condos is in 45% range. Will be interesting to see if there will be such a phenomenon as rapid micro herd immunity. These neighborhoods filled with the working poor that are micro neighborhoods have been ravaged by Covid."
