That brings the IFR rate down to levels of the common cold.

Antibody tests show 23 times the number infected as was reported

Makes sense. They seem to be severely under tested compared to the US in general. Under 4K cases there per million. Nationally the rate is 9K per million.
Not sure how the math works out, but it seems like since Connecticut is the lowest at 6x but have twice the level of testing as Missouri that would bring them to a comparable 12x. That would probably mean that the median is something like 18 times the number of cases nationwide.
How can they have 10% of their population have antibodies but as they have been testing only get a 5% confirmed rate? They've tested 465k and confirmed 24k. State population is 6MM.
It’s possible since the positive rate is presumably only for active infections. Remember 60% of the population was already infected back in March when we had 500 deaths nationwide. Didn’t you read the oxford study*
CDC website said you could have antibodies from any of the coronavirus family of viral diseases and still show positive for antibodies. That includes the common cold.
If thats the case, then 100% should show positive for antibodies because everybody has been exposed to a common cold within the last year.
Thats not true. Typical coronavirus antibodies last a lifetime. The reason we still catch a cold and why there has never been a vaccine for a coronavirus is because they mutate regularly and become a different virus.
