“Authors owe us all an apology”: Experts doubt Stanford antibody study
A study estimating that there were 85 times the reported number of cases in Santa Clara County is an example of "how NOT to do statistics," experts say.www.salon.com
I read that the Stanford researchers are re-doing their study. It is too bad that their study had so many holes in it as it has hurt their credibility. Plus many people do not want these results to be true. The authors said they have been the black sheep of the research community, even before the study was released.
I suspect it might still be accurate since other locations (LA, NYC, Germany and others) that have done these types of studies have had similar results and/or even higher immunity rates. Plus all the experts are saying the virus may have been circulating in Santa Clara county as early as January, maybe sooner. It makes sense that more people in Santa Clara County may have had the virus already given what the experts are uncovering here.
This is simply an anecdotal observation. My DH works in Santa Clara County. He was really sick for 3 weeks in February. He said everyone at work was sick. He had an upper respiratory virus that could have actually been Covid. Fortunately I did not get it.
