I agree with a 3% rate in the Netherlands, not in Santa Clara, California

3% of Netherlands population may have coronavirus antibodies, study says

A study of Dutch blood donors has found that around 3% have developed antibodies against the new coronavirus, health authorities said Thursday, an indication of what percentage of the Dutch population may have already had the disease.

The head of the National Institute for Health (RIVM), Jaap van Dissel, disclosed the results during a debate with parliament.

"This study shows that about 3% of Dutch people have developed antibodies against the coronavirus," Van Dissel said. "You can calculate from that, it's several hundred thousand people" in a country of 17 million.

There are 28,158 confirmed coronavirus cases in the Netherlands, but only the very ill and health care workers are currently being tested.
