And new from
USC lapublichealth
: An antibody study showing 4% of LA has been infected. With a clear explanation:
"Infections from the new coronavirus are far more widespread - and the fatality rate much lower - in L.A. County than previously thought."
They estimate the true infection rate in LA was 28-55x than the reported rate (similar to the
stanford study); anybody who claims the
stanford study got it wrong somehow has basically zero case They don't quite come out and say it's time for the lockdown to end, but they do say this:
"The estimates also suggest that we might have to recalibrate disease prediction models and rethink public health strategies."
Rethink how, grasshopper?

Some great data from Ohio, where
ohio began mass testing in prisons on April 11. The state now reports 3312 #SARS_CoV2 positive tests and 8 deaths among prisoners, 302 positive tests and 1 death among staff, for an infection fatality rate of 0.25%.
Two points here - the deaths are likely to keep rising (two overnight), so this may understate the current IFR; on the other hand, this population has high comorbidities and many tests remain pending.
Overall, yet more evidence of very widespread asymptomatic transmission.

The CNN footnote story abridges the findings of the Horowitz report this way: “Steele’s report played no role in the opening of the FBI investigation, according to Horowitz, and he found that the most salacious allegations weren’t proven.” That’s a convenient formulation, considering that the Horowitz report said the FBI determined that the dossier was a mix of uncorroborated, inaccurate/inconsistent and publicly available information.
