COVID-19 Seven Times Higher in OC [CA] Than Thought, UCI Study Says
NBC4LA ^ | 10/329020

Coronavirus infections in Orange County were found to be seven times higher than previously thought, according to the results of a UC Irvine study released Wednesday.

County officials hired UCI to do a serological study of a large cross-section of residents to check antibodies for COVID-19 to get a better handle on how prevalent the highly infectious disease has been in the community, according to Orange County CEO Frank Kim.

Positivity rates are determined from polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, tests, which involve a health professional using a swab of the nasal cavity and are considered the most trustworthy when determining if a patient is infected.

The accuracy of serological, or blood tests, to determine if a person has developed antibodies to COVID-19 is considered less accurate.

The infection fatality rate is 0.65%. We’ve known that since May. Before that, we knew it was somewhere between 0.5% and 1%.

Alrighty then. Consider this:

5 positive antigen tests of Oregon Ducks deemed false positives after 2 negative PCR tests; players returned to practice

I don't believe a damned word coming out of governments' or experts' mouthpieces.

Furthermore:

WATCH: Oregon health official announces COVID-19 death toll dressed as clown

Fitting, doncha think???

My thoughts exactly when I first saw it. Thought it was “the Bee”.

Come to Oregon, be governed by literal clowns.

As a lifelong Oregonian, they are clowns.

Back to the article. The US has had 9,018,524 confirmed cases. If reality is seven times than, then the actual number of cases is really 63,129,668. If that is the case, then the death rate for this disease is really miniscule.

Agreed 100%, but when taken in context to public opinion for all of the “compilers” it’s like this: Tell 100 lies and 100 truths, fear still wins, even if the truths outnumber the lies.

That’s the real damage.
