> Most countries have already had SARS-2 work its way through them significantly.
Noope, that isn’t what antibody testing shows. Take England for example. Coronavirus working its way through a mere, say, 6% of the population is devastating.
> The utility of a vaccine might be lower than you think.
Nonsense. We need to protect the other 94%.
- ketamine__ 6y agoYou're referring to antibody testing? Is any T-cell testing being done?
- lbeltrame 6y agoThe problem with aggregate numbers like that 6% is that they assume a uniform distribution of the virus within the population, which is not the case: some areas are far more hit than others. I think this should always be kept into account.
- orra 6y agoYeah, in major population centres like London, about 20% of people caught it. Whereas rural England will be lower than that 6% average. That’s the areas. As for age or demographics of people who caught it in England, I don’t think that is well known.
