More than half the residents in one of Indias largest cities may have developed antibodies for the coronavirus, according to the results of a serological survey released this week.
The survey was carried out in Pune, a city in the western Indian state of Maharashtra with a population of 4 million.

That’s either GREAT news, or a horribly inaccurate, high false-positive rate test.
Of course, I’m hoping for the former.
What we didn't do enough of was testing children.
That is what happens when a large % of your population is on antimalarials and you don’t lock down. Combo of “herd like” immunity (the weak are on antimalarials) and you let her rip through the population of healthy since for them it is sometimes as bad as a cold.
Makes me wonder how many Wuhan Flu deaths in the USA can be attributed to over-treatment and/or medical malpractice.

Yep. And many Westerners go to India and get “Dheli Belly”. Indians are exposed to a lot of germs.
Coronavirus didnt stand a chance in that filthy polluted country. And they bring that filthy polluted culture to the US (look at any area with large numbers of Indians).
Cultural relativism we are told. We all should drink cow piss, a known cure for coronavirus in India or swim in the Shit River in Tijuana (closest equivalent to the Ganges River)

Ive always suspected that, solely to get the associated bonus COVID payments, some hospitals (e.g., those in New York City) put some COVID patients onto ventilators prematurely or unnecessarily. And upon dialing up the pressure output by the ventilators damage was done to the patients possibly leading to some unnecessary deaths.
This was just a suspicion of mine, so Im in agreement with your thinking.
False positives. Take the test ten times and see what the results are.
Well, it’s India. The culture and conditions there aren’t exactly like those of Norway.
