Description

There are many hard-to-reconcile numbers circulating concerning Covid-19.  We attempt to bring a little bit of clarity by analyzing data from random testing for antibodies.  From this data, the  fatality ratio per infection is evaluated and used to extract the fraction of infected individuals and the success of their identification.
