Pkrbkr, Over the last two weeks, German virologists tested nearly 80 percent of the population of Gangelt for antibodies that indicate whether they'd been infected by the coronavirus. Around 15 percent had been infected, allowing them to calculate a COVID-19 infection fatality rate of about 0.37 percent. The researchers also concluded that people who recover from the infection are immune to reinfection, at least for a while This is one study. I'll believe that the infections rate for COVID-19 are much, much higher than the reported numbers when there are more studies confirming these results. For example, did the antibodies that were detected by the German study actually come from COVID-19? Or were they from some other virus that is closely related to COVID-19? Also, were the test methodologies from the study reliable? Often they aren't, which is why multiple studies are needed to reproduce the results. There are just too many assumptions in this one study alone that can't be taken for granted. By the way, publishing one study and jumping to wild conclusions is exactly what the left does in pushing their climate change agenda, among other things. Tenchusatsu
