ARTPOPSYCHOLOGY 6,283 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Not surprised at all tbh. Doesn't this mean (and further prove) the mortality rate is significantly lower than previously stated? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't this mean (and further prove) the mortality rate is significantly lower than previously stated? Yes. The real number is probably even higher, as it takes time for the antibodies to appear on tests and sometimes they dont even show up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knife 7,082 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Yikes. This makes me think that I've probably been infected and was asymptomatic. If not, I'm definitely not in a hurry to go out and get the antibody test and get infected on my way there. As of a month ago, I worked in NYC in an office 5 days a week, riding packed trains with passengers coughing/sneezing pretty often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you test antibodies through a survey? It was an antibody test conducted not so much a survey. It was done using a random selection of people.
