@freemo That's interesting. Never knew false positives could go that high. Does this apply to this test tho? Because these people tested negitive to COVID19, but were had antibodies for it. Are antibody tests also susceptible to false positives? @realcaseyrollins
@freemo @realcaseyrollins I know its a lot to base off just one study, and to scale it towards the entire population, but if it were to that scale in that range (2.8-5.6%) wouldn't that bring the mortality rate down to somewhere between .02 and .06%? That added with the fact that COVID19 attributed deaths dont require a positive test, I'm just saying its not as dire as the media makes it out to be. Of course a lot of people died. A lot of people are always dying. Never good, but we don't do shit about the rest.
@realcaseyrollins thats what it has always seemed to me, but what do i know @freemo
@freemo Have you seen the USC antibody study results? Interesting, and somewhat expected https://news.usc.edu/168987/antibody-testing-results-covid-19-infections-los-angeles-county/
