The LA county serology* showed 4.1%, with a confidence interval of 2.8% to 5.6%. That test that has a ~3 week lag so current #'s are even higher.
Are you really prepared to say a claim of 6.6% is so misleading it needs to be removed?

- DanBC 6y agoWhat's the selectivity and specificity of the test used in the study you quote?
- avsteele 6y agoSelectivity is near 100% for tests where I've seen data.* I don't know about the specific one LA used but selectivity isn't the problem usually. The sensitivity is the issue, but that would tend to push the true infected % up not down. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.15.20066407v1 https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.15.20066407v...
