I’ve continuously questioned the antibody tests...
My understanding (from NBC news) was that at least some of the antibody tests were derived from a couple who were on the princes cruise. They never showed symptoms, but tested positive. IMO it’s quite possible that they never had it and those tests were inaccurate (right at the start of the outbreak, no symptoms, etc).
Further, these antibody tests likely weren’t fully vetted nor were the samples they derived it from. For instance how often does another coronavirus set off this antibody test?
Personally, I’m just waiting to see. I actually do suspect 20% have been infected, so it fits my expectations, but that’s not validation.
