Possibly, but it's a flawed and incomplete study that doesn't cut across a broad enough sample of the general population. All it is is a starting point. We will need a lot more data before we can draw so solid conclusions based on these kind of studies imo.

While we do not have a conclusive study, anecdotal evidence along with the studies we do have are all suggesting an infection rate many times the rate of what we have officially recorded. Common sense would arguably tell you that alone. I know it's the general consensus among the health care professionals I know along with the biologist in my family.

Fwiw, the hospital where my wife works is transitioning to a more normal mode of business. The advanced practice nurses that were assigned to manage the Covid ICUs are being sent back to their normal positions. Likewise for the nurses in the ER that were reassigned. The new challenge will likely be the burst of procedures from the backlog created.

That is confusing to me. How is it that they can test 4000 sailors on an aircraft carrier in no time flat and the folks in a prison in no time flat?

And yet, they cannot get enough testing supplies for Ochsner Medical Center where patients are incredibly sick????!!!!!

What makes you say that Ochsner doesn't have enough tests?
