Hide Ya Wives, Hide Ya Kids: Worldwide Coronavirus Pandemic!

[whywesteppin]

You're right, that's what the result would indicate. In practice, the numbers are all estimates, so if the false positive rate is supposed to be 40 people, it's really ballpark 40, so it could be 10, it could be 100.

I don't know if they tried to do any statistical correction in the study. It's possible that 10% tested positive and then, using a known false positive rate of 5% for their test, corrected it down to 5%. Either way, it's a lot of uncertainty.

sorry to reply to myself, but wanted to make a follow-up post...

from digging around this is the only thing I could find, which indicates a much lower false positive rate for the test they did than the others that have been out. They also did a better job at randomizing than prior studies:

How reliable are the antibody tests?

Premier Biotech, the manufacturer of the test that USC and L.A. County are using, tested blood from COVID-19-positive patients with a 90 to 95% accuracy rate. The company also tested 371 COVID-19-negative patients, with only two false positives. We also validated these tests in a small sample at a lab at Stanford University. When we do our analysis, we will also adjust for false positives and false negatives.

Can you talk about how people were selected for this study?

Participants for the USC-L.A. County study were recruited by the market services firm LRW Group using a large proprietary database that ensures factors such as age, race and sex are part of the random selection. For the first testing that took place on April 10 and 11, USC and the L.A. County Department of Public Health identified six sites for drive-thru testing. Our plan moving forward is to test a different group of 1,000 randomly selected people every several weeks.

I feel like I´m watching a horror movie over the course of months:

¨yo, why would you open that door? don´t go in there my dude...¨

¨omg this chick is so stupid, this is like the third time they told her that.¨

¨oh ****, didn´t they say earlier that was the only thing that could make the whole system fail?¨

¨YOU JUST SAW THE THING OUT THERE, YOU DO NOT NEED TO GO BACK AND--ooh, damn. DAMN. ****!!!¨

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

there’s no way in hell anything should be opening before Memorial Day at minimum.

When Trump said that there was light at the end of the tunnel a few days ago, that light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train.

This **** is played out let's get back to normal

You can only keep animals locked up for so long. This was bound to happen.

This is my mentality. Keep yourself protected and who gives a **** what other people are doing. Let' those morons go out and cough on each other. Natural selection when they start dropping. If you have to work bc your job reopened, keep that mask on, keep washing your hands, and social distance and don't worry about the idiots

Honestly there must have been some sort of internal pressure from Trump on all the state governors. Just last week the big news was that all these governors were going to defy Trump and decide together with neighboring states on when they would re-open.
Now all of a sudden the news is that all these states are going to re open ASAP? Something not adding up.

Why are they doing this?

 

[wallyhopp]

But if deaths aren't building up, we may actually be at fairly normal death rates if you include 50 times the number to the infected vs current death rates.

It all comes Back to death rates imho.

If we had zero testing and suddenly there are an increase in deaths for days and weeks, something is up. That's when you can try to test people.

I don't know. I look at these antibody results as good news. We've almost infected as much and as many as we can when it went unnoticed for weeks and weeks.
