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.

Я понимаю, одно исследование не стоит многого. Два, три... но на каком-то этапе если все исследования говорят одно и то же, идею, что это всё случайная ошибка эксперимента, придётся оставить и признать, что да, мы уже имеем минимум 1%, а максимум 5% и более носителей вируса? И дальше принимать решение в соответствии с этим?

Некоторые пользуются «не теми же» .
В Сиэтле додумались использовать китайские тесты. И вот результат:

Scientists at the University of Washington School of Medicine (UWM) reportedly discarded tens of thousands of Chinese-produced coronavirus testing kits after they discovered last week that some of them showed signs of contamination.
The saga began this month after a local businesswoman employed a Chinese associate to export tens of thousands of testing kits from a Shanghai factory to the United States, according to the Tribune News Agency. UWM spent a sizeable $125,000 on securing the kits, which were flown to America on an Amazon-chartered plane.
