I am in agreement. The more testing you do the better you get at it, the lower

Way to undersell! Several = 66%.

Not really underselling. Sure it is 2/3 but still a total of 40 people

I've never heard 40 referred to as several. 2 score!

That's wild. If that's the case, herd immunity is there.

I didn’t think antibody tests were working yet.

Terrible decision making based on terrible information.

Agreed. The answer has always been to put all resources we can into testing.

The solution to false positives is more testing, not less

Yep from the beginning the govt should have made it very clear they would pay

Totally agree. People were saying the economics didn't work because testing

If true this is a game changer. We really need to test everyone so we have

IMO, Utah is going to test really high in serology testing.

Why? Lot of Chinese tourists in Utah?

We need to do the serology testing in mass numbers

Great News: Utah is now doing randomized testing

That's not a high confidence interval?

It's pretty good, but it is compared to something that we have no comparison

Neither pcr or viral culture will prove immunity. Needs to be serologic test

It’s the same reason I see so many people with “Lyme Disease”

Circulating IgG antibody levels to a virus is a way to confirm immunity.
