Seroprevalence for select countries
-
If you go down the "hole" and see the original study from Univ of Oregon, Taiwan in not listed.
LOLThailand is listed and is specification = 0.018% infection

Interesting if you extrapolate from our 315k deaths at 12% you’d get ~2MM deaths at herd immunity (assuming 70% for that), which is pretty much what the Imperial College model said back in March.

Waiting on that vaccine is going to cause an extra million+ in deaths in the US alone? That’s someone’s dissertation on safety and the cost of it.

I think my post wasn't clear. I'm talking about the number of deaths we would have had sans vaccine, if it just ripped through the population until ~70% had become infected (70% a typical number thrown around for what it takes to reach herd immunity.
With the vaccine we won't come anywhere near that.
