At least six US studies show the coronavirus is more widespread than expected and that millions and millions of Americans have been infected by the Wuhan virus already without knowing they had the virus.
By Jim Hoft, GATEWAY PUNDIT April 24, 2020
Two new studies were released earlier this week that show millions of Americans were infected with the coronavirus between March and April 21.
The studies also reveal the mortality rate is much less that was reported and similar to seasonal flu.
This also shows that the experts who are behind the draconian lockdowns have been wrong from the beginning.
The first study by Dr. Justin Silverman estimates that there were 8.7 million coronavirus infections between March 8 and March 28.
And as of April 17, 2020, 10% of the US population has been infected or around 33 million Americans.

A third study finds that 25% of residents at homeless shelters tested positive for the virus.<

And 66% of those residents tested at San Francisco homeless facilities tested positive for the coronavirus!

A fourth study from last week in Santa Clara County in California revealed that 2.5% to 4.2% of people tested for COVID-19 were positive for antibodies.<

A fifth study in Boston found that 46 people in a homeless shelter tested positive and all of them were asymptomatic.
And now a sixth study in Miami-Dade County in Florida found that at least 6% of the population tested positive for the coronavirus antibodies suggesting the number of infected could be 16 times higher than previously reported.

A random sampling study shows that at least 6% of the population in Miami, Florida, have coronavirus antibodies, indicating past infection.
165,000 residents of Miami-Dade County tested positive for coronavirus antibodies, suggesting the rate of people infected could be more than 16 times higher than previously thought, according to a study released by University of Miami researchers on Friday.
The study, set into motion by local officials, will be an ongoing weekly survey randomly selecting residents who volunteer to submit pinpricks of blood to show whether they were positive in the past. Friday’s results were based off two weeks of countywide testing of about 1,400 participants, and researchers found that about half of those who tested positive did not report symptoms in the previous 14-17 days, according to the Miami Herald.
“What we’re finding out is something we’ve frankly known all along. There are a lot of asymptomatic cases out there where people are carrying the virus but are not experiencing any symptoms,” Miami Mayor Carlos Gimenez said in a press conference.
Antibody studies across the globe are reporting similar findings.
A high school in France this week determined that 25% of students and staff possessed coronavirus antibodies requiring nine hospitalizations but zero deaths.
Anti-Semitic scapegoating in NJ. It’s called Freedom of Religion, jackass. It’s in the Bill of Rights, though I know Murphy doesn’t think about that and neither obviously does this councilman. This jerk doesn’t even have the balls to name who he is referring to, which would be the Orthodox Jews he’s attacking. Did he have a problem with Murphy’s naming of NJ as a sanctuary state? The same people who demand Americans now hunker down in their homes, shutting down churches and synagogues, were welcoming illegal aliens. Who knows what they’ve brought in. I wonder, BTW are these rules being enforced against muslims the way they are against Jews and Christians?

It is relevant that there was a “swine flu” pandemic in 2009 that apparently caused approximately the same number of deaths and serious illnesses as the current COVID-19 pandemic. Yet Obama declared no lockdown, no face masks, no anything. And the press largely ignored it.
Re the fivetran study: of course the number infections must have multiplied rapidly since April 4.

How Many Americans Have COVID-19?
Summary
Using CDC data about flu-like illnesses, we estimate that between March 1 and April 4, only 19% of symptomatic COVID-19 patients who visited their doctor were able to get tested. This percentage increased from nearly zero at the beginning of March to 60% at the end. While low, this estimate is consistent with the lack of availability of testing during this period. We used the same data set to study the 2009-2010 H1N1 pandemic, and estimated that of the 61 million Americans who had H1N1, only 14% visited a primary care provider with symptoms. If we assume the same percentage applies to COVID-19, we can estimate that only one in 40 COVID cases were detected between March 1 and April 4, and over 12 million Americans were infected.” This is from the web site of fivcetran.com, a firm that provides data collection and analysis services to priviate companies. They based their study on an analysis of CDC data about people who had flu-like symptoms over many years.
