Standford antibody study “touted” by impimp, Gas_dr, etc. funded by an airline executive. Validity of the study is destroyed. Half the positive cases were false positives. Mortality therefore at least double what they reported. Study participants self-selected, those with symptoms more likely to decide to be tested.

Or not. If the test produces 50% false positives, how was that then determined? Was a more accurate test applied? What is the “gold standard” for determining the test accurately reflects reality?

The real number with immunity isn’t determined by one study...why no go with the number of new cases/deaths getting lower every day? This implies an R value that is less than 1 even as social distancing goes away. This likely can only happen if there are many with antibodies.

Buzzfeed? Really?

So, again, will we now throw out all climate change science studies which are bought and paid for by biased sources?

Or are you a fearbro for that too?

Are you conveniently forgetting that the VAST majority of people that get the Chinese-virus are asymptotic?
This puts it well into flu and cold range, hoss.

You are quite an idiot. So false positives on an antibody test doubles the mortality

Your stupidity is quite painful to the rest of us. But go on. Take that laughable statement and keep broadcasting it. I rather enjoy it when people who don’t know what they are talking about so freely exhibit their total and complete dumbassery
