Not sure if serious or you're being as smartass (like I often am), but three football teams isn't exactly the sample size I was referring to. 300/350,000,000 isn't a good representation of the populace as a whole.Robert C.

If we all were getting tested then I believe that a very significant percentage of the country would be testing positive as well. I'm more interested however in the antibody testing that would show how many people have actually already had it. I think that number would be astronomical.Robert C.

I wish we could do a mass antibody test and get on with our lives. Where are you getting one and what's the cost?YouBet said:
I'm getting an anti-body test next Monday so I will get to be a part of the stats. Representin'!
I thought that as well but then CFB players started reporting back. I think we both agree college athletes have been getting out and about far more than those if working fron home, right? So far the team with largest percentage of positive players has been Clemson with ~25% testing positive.
That encompasses team from across the US, so I would think it is safe to say that the assumption of most people having contracted it is false.
Luckily, the University of Kentucky is doing just that (along with LSU and Arkansas). They found a staggering 6% of returning players tested positive for COVID19 antibodies.
