I’m curious what people make of coronavirus antibodies being detected in Italy in September 2019: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/11/coronavirus-italy-covid

    Interesting, thanks for the link. The livescience article mentions the possibility of false positives and doing different types of antibody testing to confirm, not only with potential WHO involvement. Do you know if there was any further testing? A quick search didn’t yield helpful results.

  The paper has earned an expression of concern regarding its peer review process, I don't think many scientists rely on it at the moment: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0300891620987756 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0300891620987756
