“Seroprevalence” identifies human antibodies, in this case antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19).

And your term "corona DNA?" is incorrect. SARS-CoV-2 is an RNA virus.

Your final comment "In any event, I am glad they are making an effort to track the historical growth of this disease." seems naive to me.

The point of this thread is simply that they are NOT doing important up to date seroprevalence surveys, necessary to properly manage this "pandemic".

Completely agree. This is old info.last info shows a much higher rate of seropositvity versus reported case. My uneducated guess is the number of seropos. is about 15 times the number of confirmed reported cases. Plus many infection are just not even bothered with. Infectivity might be as high as 30 times confirmed cases. We won’t find out till we’re all dead or the virus mutates itself out of pathogenicity.

Re: “Corona RNA”

Thanks for clearing that up. I thought PRC only worked with DNA.

I assume the scarce antibody data is deliberate.

When the number of cases goes up, the Case Fatality Rate goes down.

I follow the issue of fatalities closely.

In my opinion, if the CDC counted influenza fatalities the same way they count COVID-19 fatalities, we would have more flu deaths than COVID deaths.
