Antibody study suggests Covid-19 could be far more prevalent in the Bay Area than official numbers suggest
The researchers asked more than 3,000 people to volunteer for antibody testing.
The results indicated that between 48,000 and 81,000 people could have been infected with Covid-19 in Santa Clara County.
That』s far higher than the official numbers.
Specifically, they estimate that between 2.5% and 4.2% of people in Santa Clara County may have antibodies. (The range is a result of different models used to extrapolate the test results to a representative population.)
