Before you post you might wish to verify stories. As of now a number of antibody test have been rushed through by the FDA without the usual rigorous validation studies. This has given rise varying levels of false positive and negative findings. Until these tests are standardized and actually validated I would not trust any of this data.

The Covid-19 outbreak in Los Angeles County could be up to 55 times bigger than the number of confirmed cases, according to new research from the University of Southern California and the LA Department of Public Health.

The data, if correct, would mean that the county’s fatality rate is lower than originally thought.
