The positive numbers outway the negative...it's time to rethink how to manage this lockdown.
Antibody studies like this one show that there could be a lot more people who were infected at some point, never had symptoms and thus have not been counted in the statistics of confirmed cases. This would lower the death rate substantially. I posted another thread about a Chinese study finding that virus has mutated into many strains, some are way more deadly. Perhaps the asymptomatic people with antibodies caught a weaker strain. We'll see, lots more studies going on.
