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...

Link is about Scottie ,Pippen
L_W: your browser sucks at the internet. It works fine for me
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.
So, three bits of news: lots of people have been exposed to coronavirus, remdesivir is promising, and Lone Wolf's browser forgot how to internet

"... 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.
It actually could be a good thing if a lot of people were exposed and asymptomatic. One step closer to herd immunity
Lone-Wolf's browser needs some remdesivir
I hear he gave his browser chloroquine and now it's on a ventilator

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?
