This is making the usual misinformation rounds. But it's not Tokyo. It's not a random serosurvey. It's a few locations in a single company. One cluster could explain it all. If this were true for Tokyo, it could & should be replicated quickly. But misinformation thrives on speed. https://twitter.com/AlexBerenson/status/1308798932097658881 …

See this is the pity. Japan is actually a super important example to learn from. I have another article coming out on it soon. But this kind of uninformed bluster (Japan not masking hahaha) makes it difficult to have a the kind of real discussion we need. https://twitter.com/AlexBerenson/status/1309494976141762560 …

Good points. With n=650 is worth considering. Maybe not Tokyo, but does point to lingering gaps in knowledge on CFR etc. (still a long way to go)

I agree. That's why random serosurveys are so important, and striking that we don't have more of it, especially since the pathogen is terribly overdispersed. One person in one town in Korea infected 5,000+. If you surveyed that town, alone, you'd get a very different picture.

And that’s assuming the Aurora Biomed rapid test kit, which is still advertised on their website as FDA EUA authorised despite the fact that the FDA has listed as “Removed - Should Not Be Distributed”, is reliable, amongst other things https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/coronavirus-covid-19-and-medical-devices/faqs-testing-sars-cov-2#nolonger …

I actually read the study and have very specific questions, including the need to replicate it. It's an extraordinary claim, thus requires replication before shouting about it. It's not hard to replicate given the claim.
