The CA study was based on a test with a 90% accuracy (bad) and that also gave positives for other corona viruses that were common cold caliber. It was a junk study and the links didn’t work anymore last I checked, so it looks like they pulled it.
I wonder if this NY study is by the same group with the same junk. Doesn’t say in the article and if Cuomo is touting it, you know there is a political motivation, anyway.
Still, even if accurate and precise, that leaves over 85% of NYers overall and nearly 80% in NYC still at risk.
CA’s study’s numbers with the junk test were a lot lower, though, at around 2 to 4%, IIRC.
In neither case is that anywhere near the numbers needed for herd immunity, but it won’t stop the FluBros from trying to use it to downplay the lethality. At least they’re bargaining. That’s progress.
can someone explain this story to me. If washing hands kills the virus so should washing clothes
