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?

Санта Клара выходит вперёд :

First known U.S. coronavirus death occurred on Feb. 6 in Santa Clara County

A person who died at home in Santa Clara County on Feb. 6 was infected with the coronavirus at the time of death, a stunning discovery that makes that individual the first recorded COVID-19 fatality in the United States, according to autopsy results released by public health officials late Tuesday.
That death — three weeks before the first fatality was reported in the U.S., in Washington state on Feb. 28 — adds to increasing evidence that the virus was in the country far earlier than once thought.

Ну вот это - hard evidence.

Santa Clara County on Tuesday announced three previously unidentified deaths from the coronavirus: the Feb. 6 case; one on Feb. 17, which also predates the death that was earlier believed to be the first; and one on March 6. Initially, the first death in the county had been reported March 9.
...
“From what we understand, neither of the cases had a history of travel,” Cody said. “So we assume that they were acquired locally.”
...
Also, in January the United States was in the middle of the typical influenza season, so a death in someone with symptoms similar to the flu wouldn’t have provoked investigation in January, Swartzberg said. In fact, public health experts have surmised that many early deaths from COVID-19 were attributed to the flu instead.
“It was influenza season,” Swartzberg said. “Everyone thought it was the flu.”

Круто, т.е. если кто-то помер 6 февраля, то вирус уже был в январе...

Удивительно было б, если б в январе его там не было, с количеством китайцев-то.

Ну вот теперь возникает вопрос, если он уже был тут в январе, а карантин обьявили в конце марта, то в чём, собственно, смысл?

репетируют-с.

Надеюсь, что Трамп поймет, как его развели.
