Protesters marched through the streets of downtown Sacramento today, voicing their displeasure with California’s stay-at-home order instituted by health officials and the governor to slow the spread of the coronavirus
From CNN's Michael NedelmanAn estimated 4.1% of Los Angeles County residents have been infected with novel coronavirus — dozens of times higher than officially confirmed cases, according to early results announced Monday by county health officials
The researchers, in collaboration with the University of Southern California, estimated that 221,000 to 442,000 adults in L.A. county had been infected based on drive-through tests conducted on April 10 and 11. Given the study’s margin of error, this represents between 2.8 and 5.6% of the population — which is also 28 to 55 times what county officials recorded around that time: about 8,000 confirmed cases.
According to the announcement, new rounds of testing will be conducted"every few weeks” to follow the course of the outbreak at the local level over the coming months. On Friday, a similar study in Santa Clara County, California, estimated between 2.49% and 4.16% of residents had developed antibodies as of April 1. These numbers — representing between 48,000 and 81,000 people — were 50 to 85 times higher than the 956 confirmed cases at the time.
