"On the other hand, among those who did have the illness (based on symptoms), it would appear that overall greater than 70% of them developed antibodies"
Unless im reading it wrong, many did not get tested for Covid19 and only had Symptoms.
I agree that it isn't reflective of the broader population, but one could argue that those same numbers would be reflected among the asymptomatic.
Which numbers? 100% of people who were positive with Corona are positive on the Roche antibodies test.
I'm not sure whoever wrote that article actually understood what he's trying to say, but he seems to claim from all of the 3500 in the survey with presumed Covid, seemingly defined by having symptoms, 70% had antibodies, which means 30% never had Corona. What exactly can you extrapolate from that to asymptomatic patients?

Thanks for clarifying, the article could use some proof reading.
What is the sample size? what is the current population for Crown Heights?

A neighbor got a call today from the Ocean County Health Department. He was informed that he had tested positive and they wanted to do contact tracing. He tested positive alright, two weeks before Pesach! It took them 7 weeks to call him to contact trace. Governor Murphy’s contact tracing plan is going to be a lot of fun.

Just a sign of how government works.. although, contract tracing is just starting so we should give them some time to see if they actually do half a job

Was he also one of the newly reported positive cases in Ocean County?

No way to know but I highly doubt it took that long to be reported to OCHD. Just took forever for them to act on it.

Crazy, some ppl still have faith in our government.

If they would have positive # in the single digit range, then I hear,  they stand a chance but at this point, really.

It's all for the image and media.

It's really very simple. There's no corruption in Russia.

1. Rules about how they define COVID-19 deaths (vs. attributing to other factors)
2. Many rich people getting tested with mild symptoms, poor people not having access to tests, so some die without a test and some die after testing positive and thus count
3. They’re late to the party and some of those who tested positive won’t make it...

Here's the thing about GA... almost 60% of their population is in Atlanta, and many, many things are still closed there. The general feeling in ATL is that the white Republican governor doesn't care about the higher-risk urban population, and it seems many staying at home and not reopening their businesses despite Kemp's all clear. Unless someone is showing stats about Atlanta specifically, GA's steady numbers have no context with regards to the ability to reopen safely. The same goes for FL. The media is all about FL being open. The tri-county area of Dade, Broward, and Palm have been largely closed, and are just beginning to reopen now. Those counties represent over 30% of the state.
