Get back to work.

Projections by the Centers for Disease Control on March 13th: 160 million to 214 million Americans would be infected. The US population is 300 + million. No wonder Americans were scared  to death and buying up toilet paper.

Get back to work.

From your article:

"Brownstein, also an ABC News contributor, “cautioned that the results for the California county are not necessarily representative of the U.S. population and noted the use of online ads to find participants could skew the candidate pool,” the network noted.

According to the study’s abstract, participants for the testing were “recruited using Facebook ads targeting a representative sample of the county by demographic and geographic characteristics.”

The study also suggests California is far from so-called “herd immunity,” an idea floated last month when the the number of COVID-19 cases and virus-related deaths in California (population of 40 million) was far below the anticipated onslaught, especially in relation to New York.

“Bendavid said the research, which has not yet been peer-reviewed, suggests that the large majority of the county, around 95%, is still without antibodies,” ABC noted.

“[W]hat that means for things like, are we going to wait for people to get infected or get antibodies in order for them to get back to work… knowing that well upwards of 90% of the population doesn’t have antibodies is going to make that a very difficult choice,” he questioned."

It "might not represent" means what?  Define that as you will I suppose.  

Over 95% of the test subjects in this study didn't have the antibodies either, so I'm not sure where you want to go with that.

And I'm not sure I understand the criticism of the Facebook Ad.  Are old people not on it?  Young people?  Different ethnicities?  That seemed chickenshit to me.
