re: #184 Eclectic Cyborg

It could be the death rate is actually lower than we believe because so many mild cases are going completely undetected.

The problem is, there are now a lot of testing going on. And about 90% of the tests come back negative, in Florida for example.

The people chosen for this testing includes those who were in contact with the positives. So if this pool of possible candidates is still coming back at 90% negative, the rest of the population who have no known contact with positives are unlikely to test positive at a higher rate than possible contactees.

Until we do a large random sample with the antibody test we won’t know.
