"Serology in NY has shown us that we have maybe 1/8 of the population with antibodies as of a few weeks ago,"
Perhaps 15% of NYC has been infected, but not the US as a whole. And the efficacy of the antibody tests has proven problematic.
And good like trying to control the rate at which you "exposed much more people to the virus." As we've seen, all it takes is a few superspreaders to blast your "controlled" exposure into an exponential growth rate.
- ryankemper 7y agoTo be clear, I've been talking about NY because it's the classic example of hospital overrun. So talking about prevalence in the rest of the country is irrelevant. > And the efficacy of the antibody tests has proven problematic. This statement is too vague to be of use. You should probably try to debunk specific serology studies rather than making hand-wavey dismissals.. --- (BTW I didn't respond to your other comment because it was in very bad faith as far as the "sacrificing at the altar of herd immunity" comment goes)
