This time an antibody study in California. Supposedly the figures that are being confirmed right now only reflect 1/50 or 1/80 of all the infections already out there or recovered. Yup, everybody in New York City basically has it or had it...
Other news: final results on a small remdesivir study are still to be published and peer-reviewed, but word coming out of the study is they expect to show significant clinical impact. Good news if it holds.
Gosh I hope this is true. If so, then we are weeks away from this being over. Also, it looks like Gilead's drug actually works very well. Big study will be released in two weeks.
"... found that 2.5 to 4.2% of those tested were positive for antibodies " _________________________ We need 50% -> 70% range to get to herd immunity. So it's not all good news.

One tiny step. I don't see how that's good news.

I don't get it. If 2.5% to 4.2% have it in Santa Clara County, why should we assume everyone has it in NYC? Am I missing something?
