You can show anti-body positive without ever being exposed to the specific virus since you can have the same reaction to many different types of viruses. That is why you have to have an absolute baseline of what percentage of the population actually are infected before any of the other tests make a great deal of sense. |

You missed the data point hidden in the second article. They did advance testing of 645 health care workers and early responders, and using a test that you claim is subject to false positives, they got no positive results. So it would appear that nobody in Telluride has already been infected and recovered, which stands in direct opposition to your hypothesis that most people have already had it. |
