As soon as I saw this study I Googled Chelsea Mass and in the first few results was an article about how it has been hit hard by the virus. From the article:
> “Chelsea is suffering in this pandemic,” City Manager Tom Ambrosino told WBZ News. “We have, as far as I can determine, the highest infection rate in the Commonwealth.” [1]
With that information the takeaway should be that in the areas with the highest rate of infection we are seeing as much as 30% of the population with antibodies. That's great and an encouraging statistic that seems to indicate the percentage of mild or asymptomatic cases is much higher than originally believed. It does not mean that we are close to herd immunity everywhere. We need randomized testing in many many more communities across the country in order to get the full picture.
