5,000 tested on April 14, 15.
Only .7% had antibodies.
Not good for the “herd immunity” folks...

“NHK conducted an experiment to see how germs spread at a cruise buffet.
They applied fluorescent paint to the hands of 1 person and then had a group of 10 people dine.
In 30 min the paint had transferred to every individual and was on the faces of 3. “
Hopefully that study is an outlier, and not representative of the actual infection rate of our population. If you applied that 0.7% to the entire population with the current death toll, you would have a case fatality rate of about 3.5%. There have to be far more than 2.3 million people exposed.
If that number is anywhere near reality, it shows we have either successfully limited the spread or it's not nearly as contagious as we thought, or some combination. Or the antibody test could be crap.
That was nearly a month ago.
Let’s hope it’s higher now?

“Can see this catching on. The new baggage!!!. €190 Covid-19 tests enable passengers at Vienna Airport to avoid quarantine”
Interesting development. Actually makes more sense than a paper saying one is “OK”.
