The antibody testing news continues with Sweden showing about 11% of the population tested showing the antibodies and California's LA County around 4%, all far more than the numbers suggested by testing for the active virus.

Coupled with the data regarding those who end up hospitalized it seems that 95% or more of the population may not suffer serious consequences and the mortality rate may be less than .5%

Well by all means Bill, I'm formally educated as an electrical engineer.
I haven't had biology since high school. And I screwed up my CHem classes in college.
So as a consequence I would not be considered a subject matter expert in a court of law.
If you feel motivated to go shoot up with some Lysol; who am I to stop you?

I suspect, however, that you IQ is high enough that you would figure out that may not be a logical thing to do.
There are many on the left half of the bell curve who may lack your decision making skill set.

Why stop with a gargle when you drink it to wash down a Tide Pod. The late night talk show guys don't even need joke writers anymore.

Now they are seeing young, healthy patients with mild to no symptoms who tested positive for Covid-19 having strokes .... likely from the fact that it seems to cause blood clots in some. Yet another happy tidbit they are learning about this thing. First they saw the skin rashes, which indicated a reaction to increased clotting of the blood, so I guess it is not a total surprise to see some strokes. The 5 I read about were in NYC and were 30-50 years of age, mostly suffering from mild symptoms with 2 showing no symptoms but tested positive.

Keep in mind that the number of patients who test positive and who also exhibit other symptoms is extremely small, given the total number of patients that have been tested so far. So the effect could be nothing more than noise in the data for many, if not most correlated conditions. Lots more study will be needed to really nail down the possible effects. That said, in the case of strokes, there is a plausible mechanism. Given that, and the lethality of stroke means looking into that relationship will probably get priority.

One effect that is expected is a dramatic decrease in scheduled childhood vaccinations for understandable reasons. There is concern that this will result in a dramatic increase in cases of childhood diseases such as measles, mumps, etc. down the road. So far the evidence of this decrease in immunizations is only anecdotal but it also seems like a pretty logical hypothesis.

I'm starting to think you guys don't know what Listerene is.
