Los Angeles County has 200,000+ with Wu antibodies
LOS ANGELES ‐ Hundreds of thousands of Los Angeles County residents may have been infected with the coronavirus by early April, far outpacing the number of officially confirmed cases, according to a report released Monday.

The initial results from the first large-scale study tracking the spread of the coronavirus in the county found that 2.8% to 5.6% of adults have antibodies to the virus in their blood, an indication of past exposure.

That translates to roughly 221,000 to 442,000 adults who have recovered from an infection, according to the researchers conducting the study, even though the county had reported fewer than 8,000 cases at that time.
This is at least the 4th USA study to produce the same 'many, many people had it' result which would show that the Wu is far more communicable but far less lethal than estimated previously.

Fauci: No Recovery Possible If Virus Isn't "Under Control"
[So, wait a minute. I thought Fauci said he wasn't an economist and it was his role only to provide medical advice. Geeeeesh.]
[ZeroHedge] President Trump's top doctor on the White House coronavirus task force has pushed back against protesters demonstrating against stay-at-home orders, warning that the US economy won't recover until COVID-19 is "under control."

"This is something that is hurting from the standpoint of economics," Fauci acknowledged during an appearance on ABC's "Good Morning America," in comments which sharply contrast with those by President Trump, who has encouraged the protests, Bloomberg reports.

"Unless we get the virus under control, the real recovery economically is not going to happen," Fauci added. "So what you do if you jump the gun and go into a situation where you have a big spike, you’re going to set yourself back."

#6   a lot of people will simply opt out of the economy : they won't travel, they won't go to restaurants, they won't shop

Down here we call those, survivors.

#5  Unless we get our clueless medical 'experts' under control, we will lose our democracy.

Clue for you, Little Big Man: the only way a functioning democracy survives 32% unemployment and mass impoverishment is by going to war. It's either civil war, or a war like the one that brought this nation out of the Great Depression.

There is no glide path that sees us recovering peacefully from the complete collapse of the economy. If the economy collapses, the political system collapses -- and it won't be peaceful. Got that?

#4  Fauci speaking about the economy? I wonder what his NFL Draft picks are? Same importance. STFU, half-pint

#3  Individual results may vary, but you should be alright from this distance if you are wearing your gov't issued protective goggles.

#2  Fauci is right to an extent because without the Wu being perceived as controlled a lot of people will simply opt out of the economy : they won't travel, they won't go to restaurants, they won't shop
