My favorite serology study was definitely the one back in April from Stanford where they concluded that we were undercounting covid cases by like 80x, but if you multiplied the confirmed case count in New York even on the day the study came out it was greater than the population of New York. Good stuff, a reasonable thing to publish.

He's giving out of date information. The major hospital labs and testing companies do their own internal validation and QC before offering a test for sale. This combined with the major diagnostic companies offering their own self-developed kits has eliminated a lot of the junk. He's right that March/April was the wild west with minimal oversight, but not anymore.


This is flat-out wrong. A validated test run by a licensed lab is not going to give a 50% false-positive rate, it's more like less than 1%.


This is true. A positive serology test only means your immune system was exposed to the virus and generated antibodies against it. We don't know exactly how that correlates to immunity beyond a vague "antibodies = immune".


Can you post a link where you are getting your new up to date information from?

He effectively got march madness shut down which would have been a super spreader event throughout the entire country. In hindsight we actually needed that so people thought it wasn't a new York only disease

I'm not totally across a lot of their terminology but it seems like they've got to patients earlier with it and taken steps to manage the heart problems it causes

Not peer reviewed of course at this stage

it’s an observational study

he really did, if it weren't for the NBA shutting down the NCAA wouldn't have either and who knows whether or when schools and colleges would have followed suit

It would have been like pulling teeth and probably wouldn't have happened for weeks if Adam Silver didn't fire the starting gun

very cool that my family were pretty much the only ones completely masked up and distancing at a neighborhood gathering today, thankfully we didn’t stay too long and kept our distance. my preschooler handles a mask better than most of the adults I work with.

I spend the first month and a half completely sober just to prove to myself I could do it, and knew it would be good to help me lose a few pounds.

Then after about 2 months I crack pinged hard so gently caress it, just drink every day why not
