COVID-19 antibody testing is underway at multiple locations in California to determine just how widespread the coronavirus is there. Officials said this could help determine when the area can safely reopen. NBC News’ Gadi Schwartz explains how it will work.» Subscribe to MSNBC:

COVID-19 Antibody Testing Study Begins In California | MSNBC
I intentionally suppressed coronavirus testing to hide the numbers and save the economy. I failed anyway. 🍊
Majority of Americans believe there number 1′ more important than the rest, Naturally Judgmental , blaming charlie brown, looking down to pray Never looking in the mirror, drinking beer arrogant belittling complex’ narcissistic pride: Jesus Christ…

So… you’re not a U.S. citizen?
@J Moore Majority of Americans Perceive there number 1′
Its Alsways a contest
National Judgement day

Charlie brown Done it again Hurry tell Jesus Christ.

That makes no sense whatsoever.
What the Antibody test shows us is that Covid 19 isn’t as deadly and would actually speed up opening the economy
@James Carbon Thank you for telling the truth
California leading the way from the beginning!
@Kimberly Lund you seem really intelligent, good argument.
*”California leading the way…”*
In poverty, crime, homeless, high taxes and eliminating the middle class. Take a bow.
California is not considered s legitimate state.
Like we always do
We the only ppl that wear the pants around here
#FightOn
@Moira McCleary *”California’s economy …”*
Is that why Californians are moving to Texas and other Red states?
California will save the nation from Trump’s blunders.
@Justice For All No states are lacking in anything.
@M K give me Florida any fking day.
California is bringing back to life something that makes coronavirus look like the sniffles. The bubonic plaque is what California is going to give to the world it’s already been found in your homeless drug dens.
@darknite 123222 LMFAO@U…jealous troll! Cali Rox!
Yes and we will my beautiful black sista
Especisly now that Washington and oregon has become united as the west coast pack lol i know america hates us and are jealous of us and our culture but this right here is too much for them lol they must be sick to they stomach how the blue state is superior to them lol i mean cmon? We dont listen to trump or follow anything he says he has zero controll over us we are number 6 in the world of wealthy economy with zero federal funding lol its like everything they do to destroy us only makes us stronger? Why? Because we are the
SUPERIOR RACE
AKA THE CALIFORNIA NATIVE !! AKA THE PPL YA LOVE TO HATE
So glad we live in a state that can take care of itself and doesn’t ot depend on the orange Baboon.. God help the the rest of the union.
Bud Fudlacker the country with the most deaths is ran by Trump
That’s a farse
I would not call being $2.3 trillion in debt, “able to take care of itself”. California has so many illegals, that 150,000 of the states population of 35 million, are paying 50% of the state’s income tax. The middle class has been wiped out. You are either a poor bonehead 20 year old pothead with no job, or you’re rich. Guessing by your comment, you’re the former.
@Bobby Nelson Trump is the MURDERER denying aid, funding all the while profiting on the DEATHS of Americans.. you think he didnt sell off and reinvest stocks with prior knowledge of a crash? you ever wonder why hes pushing for a drug that does nothing? or why fema is outbidding states for medical supples? HE IS PROFITING OF AMERICAN DEATHS!
@TJ STFU Nobody asked for, wants or cares about your political bipartisan ranting that isn’t even related to this news story. People like you are the bane of the internet I swear.
Hopefully if we’re lucky everything will be ok by next year Happy Easter Every 1 be careful & safe 🙏
Gilles Charbonneau Yea 🙌 that seems more plausible cuz they have 600,000 tracked cases now and 25,000 are dead 💀 so that 3.6% number is a lot closer to that statistic if u look at it that way. Yet every country has different number of cases and mortality rates!
Dan Smith Not all 330 mil will get it. Nowhere near 330 mil will get i not even 100 mil or 10 mil. With the 100k deaths probably 3 mil will get it.
@RH Versity who says not 10 mil will get it, 35.5 mil Americans got the flu last year, despite all the vaccination, despite our immunity to the common cold, and COVID-19 is said to be more contagious, so where do you get your numbers?
David R hope so🤞🏽
@Te Ya 👍
Calfornia was (or is) lucky sadly New York was (or is ) not :(… I wish Germany could assist US government in some way to tackle this crisis. best wishes from Germany
@Stephanie S yeh exactly! Stupid to call it luck! But I do wish you the best of luck with it, from Australia, cause you’ve got your work cut out for you given what’s going on in the wider country over there & will need some luck as well as skill to get through this I think. Wishing you all the best, you’ve earnt it 🙂
@Lilac Lizard in New York 🗽 513 per million has died or 1 in 1949 people 👫 which is crazy! Higher than New Jersey 🇯🇪 in fact double at 265. Higher than Spain 🇪🇸 at 374 or Italy 🇮🇹 at 338. Belgium 🇧🇪 337! Other notable mentions are France 🇫🇷 at 230. England 🇬🇧 at 167. The Netherlands 🇳🇱 at 165. Switzerland 🇨🇭 at 131 and Sweden 🇸🇪 at 91. The USA national average is 70. Turkey has 14 and Germany 🇩🇪 @36. Iran 🇮🇷 has 55 only! Portugal 🇵🇹 Austria 🇦🇹 and Denmark 🇩🇰 just 50. Other states to watch in the United States 🇺🇸 are Michigan @ 150, Louisiana at 180, Massachusetts 110 and Connecticut at 155. California, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Washington, Florida and Georgia have very few deaths for how big in surface area they are and how many millions of people they hold! Florida and California have 20 dead per million and have around 500 deaths. But their hugely populated and California is huge, triple Florida. Illinois and Pennsylvania and Georgia have only 50 deaths per million or 550-650 deaths each.
@Dan Smith honestly though, with the time it takes to die from this & the short lenght of the virus’s existance to date, we really don’t have a clue on death numbers at this point in time. It’s only useful to look at deaths when compared to recovered, as this is what gives us something like the final numbers & then the curve needs to be considered to know if that country/state is going to get a lot more cases in the coming weeks or months.
Also important to consider the hiding of data. Iran’s numbers are useless, due to mass graves & intentional hiding of deaths. Likewise anyone dying in New York outside a hospital is not being tested for the virus & many are being buried in mass graves. China’s numbers are also questionable & Italy’s are also likely low, not intentionally, but becasue they were too overwhelmed to have the capacity to move to hospitals or test everyone with the virus. Indonesia is another country with serious issues, like the US with it’s “flu” deaths, Indonesia is recording alternate reasons for deaths still, while praying for the virus to not hurt them. There’s going to be MASSIVE deaths there! Japan’s numbers are also questionable, especially given their release of cruise ship passengers with no reporting of infections from them & we all know full well that cruise ships are a SERIOUS source of infection & in Australia at least, we know VERY well what happens if your government screw up & release an entire cruise ship full of people into your general population! Australia infected over 700 people with that little “Ruby Princess” screw up! Japan hasn’t admitted to any cases from it’s identical actions with the Diamond Princess! So either they hid them, or they missed them & allowed uncontrolled community spread to begin
@Lilac Lizard This Virus is Fake Scare by Media to keep us contained and take our freedoms away. Get This Canada and Switzerland have the same amount of Cases and Canada has done twice the tests. 400,000 to 200,000 and they found 25,000 cases so far in each country so 50,000 total. 700 have died, 7,100 recovered in Canada and 1,100 and 13,000 recovered in Switzerland. Canada has 38,000,000 people so 20 per million are dead. Switzerland has 9,000,000 people and 130 per million are dead. Canada is 242 times the size of it and 4 times the population. So 60 times less dense. No half of Canada is frozen arctic and no people still 30 times less dense in people than Switzerland. Fake Virus, Fake Panic, Fake News!
@Lilac Lizard Come on u know it’s a fraud. 22,000 Americans have died and Media and professionals predicting now that in 2 to 3 months up to 40,000 to 60,000 will die. So we are tracking the flu, pneumonia and cold ❄️ 🎿 🤒 death in the USA now on a yearly basis for a country as big in surface area as Europe which has 44 countries? 331,000,000 Americans live in these united states and without New York 🗽 and new Jersey 🇯🇪 only 10,000 have died in a month in 48 states so say 100,000 die a year. Seems normal 0.03% or 1 in 3,300. Seems just like the regular flu to me and Canada 🇨🇦 China 🇨🇳 Brazil 🇧🇷 and Australia 🇦🇺 just as big also. They first told us 1,500,000 to 2,200,000 Americans could die with no isolation. Than worn mitigation and social distance they brought it down go 100,000 to 240,000 which up to 0,67% still seemed high 🆙 then they saw the panic and said no only 100,000 max finally last week they said we are doing so good 👍 🌟 now we are down to 80,000 and on the weekend they said 60,000 only and saw CNN predict 40,000 deaths💀💔🥵 I mean it’s terrible but 40,000 to track 331,000,000 Americans in a country as big as Europe with 44 countries or china 🇨🇳 who has 1,440,000,000 people 👫 👭 fit in there. Europe has 750,000,000. To track 40,000 deaths in 2 to 3 months from 331,000,000 Americans is nothing and just a waste of resources and panic. 1 in 8,300 will die In the next 60 to 90 days 0,012%! Oh, gee thanks! Fake news!
Thank God there is leadership from the states when lacking from the federal government.
@52 80 My pay stub says “Federal Tax withheld.” It doesn’t say Federal Reserve withheld. The IRS is the one collecting those federal taxes. And the buck stops with the president.
So, why did I pay federal taxes for so many years? If the federal government is going to let me down, I want those years of federal taxes back. And traitor Trump isn’t going to give me that. I, and millions of fellow Americans pay traitor tRump’s salary. He is our employee.
He has to serve the American people, it is his duty and obligation.
Save your b.s. about the Federal Reserve, that’s a deflection.
The fact is that traitor Trump left us hanging in the wire.
We won’t forgive, and we won’t forget.
@Barbara Witchey I’m both, and more.
@Ramon Guzman U are as big a pig as the other SANCTUARY CITIES. Beg beg beg and Both N Y and CALIFORNIA got more WHINEY ASSWHIPE. OTHER STATES JUST AS RED WITH VIRUS LOOK AT OHIO U JIST HATER
@Paul Wilson Well Paul you voted in a useless moron.
@Brian Wideman You do know Nancy Pelosi isn’t a Governor, right? She’s doing a good job in the House for you too. 😉
Please don’t forget!
There are many people all over America who do not drive a car due to disabilities, age, or can’t afford one, so testing must also be made available for these people as well!
Stay well, Stay Strong!
@MountainOf Everest Nope! Dr. offices are not seeing patients in person. Even the VA is not seeing patients because tests are not widely available. They are video conferencing. They have even set up centers to do this if someone doesn’t have the capability to do it from home.
@braxtonpamelac My State was wise enough not to engage in that behavior. There are other illnesses and needs besides CV19 .. And undercutting a limited supply of Doctors?… No.. not here.
@MountainOf Everest if you live in an area that has very few cases, then that is good. However, since the majority of the patients who go to the VA are older and have underlying conditions. Those are the ones who are receiving direct treatment. CA issued a SIP order very early because they were looking at Washington state. Also, CA is a “check point” for international flights repatriating Americans from overseas (LAX); and San Diego is used to quarantine on a few of the military bases. San Diego has some of the best hospitals in the country, and still they still need supplies. I have no problem with social distancing on the other side of the border because I am an asthmatic. I have worked in health-care, and when there is a resistant, airborne pathogen that is deadly, mutating, and travelling unencumbered; I am going to do what I can. I’m trying to get this through to my husband; my life is literally on the line. And for most people, if it doesn’t affect them; they don’t care. We will get through this. Sadly, not ALL of us. 😣😷
@braxtonpamelac The VA and local MD Offices that can rule out Influenza and Allergies for the General Population are apples and oranges.. not the same. I suggest you look into the Megadose Vitamin C protocol. Vitamin C has killed all known viruses in the testtube… Megadose C protocol killed West Nile Virus and H1N1 Swine Flu Virus while no vaccine was available for them. Note.. Megadose .. this is not taking a daily vitamin then complaining it didn’t work. 3 to 50 grams of high quality Vitamin C daily… not 200 to 250 mg daily. Protocol established by Dr. Thomas Levy MD .. former Professor of Cardiology at Tulane Medical School. I used the Megadose C protocol in December against reg Flu.. Much cheaper than the $100/bottle Tamiflu. https://www.amazon.com/Curing-Incurable-3rd-Infectious-Diseases/dp/B07DQR29PR/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=vitamin+c+levy&qid=1586875382&sr=8-2
NYC LlBERAL religion and faith is the last thing we need. We need less of it
Good luck People. It beats listening to the Clown.
@Concrete Lightbulb I don’t speak in acronyms. If you have something to say speak plainly. What’s with your user name? You ashamed of your given name or to much of a poody cat to use it?
@Brian Wideman “I don’t speak in acronyms. ” Yeah, I’m sure _you’ve_ never said MAGA …like I said, you’re neither clever nor complicated. I’m flattered you want to get to know me, my name is Stephen Maertz …oh, wait no, it’s George Ciranno, crap, I meant Michael Levine – smfh …choose any name you want _tough guy,_ it doesn’t change the fact that you’re abysmally simple-minded even for a troll.
@Barbara Witchey And you have Trump lmao. There is absolutely nothing you say about anyone that is as bad as Trump and family.
@keith parkhill Does not matter of TRUMP cured CANCER U hate. DEMOCRATS will all elect to vote DEMOCRAT and raise taxes UP UP UP
Brian Wideman
No, he means the orange clown that doesn’t believe in science. The one voted by other clowns.
Good somebody is starting to do what should have been done from the get go.
we need to get back to life and work now, if we would like to survive. playing pretend with frauds on the tv will not allow us to survive.
@Matt Pipp Getting back to life and work means knowing where the danger is. Who is spreading the virus, without showing any symptoms? Who’s had it and built immunity to it? Massive testing is necessary.
@52 80 You do not work in healthcare 🤣🤣🤣 I guess you have the same gut feelings and intuitive nature as the president! Any basic health-care worker who was paying attention to what was happening in China, N.K, Italy would have at LEAST seen the handwriting on the wall. But, I’m assuming too much, right? 🤣🤣🤣
@sinmore11 the survival rate is about 96.35% world wide. It will most likely be higher when we factor in other 2nd and 3rd world countries; the fact that the virus has mutated, and still the current tests has a 20%-35% (false negative) rate. So, It’s never been 1%, so I’m not sure where that number comes from. It’s basic math.
@braxtonpamelac It comes from a video with Dr Fraudi…watch it. He’s literally being calm while the news interviewer is trying to trigger him a month ago into more of a ‘panic’ https://youtu.be/NKwwh2Iai2w
This is good news….
California is awesome 👏
Robbin Coronado 😊 thanks! I live here 😊😊😊😊
I want to be tested for antibodies. I was sicker then I’ve ever been in december. How do we join these studies I’m in California?
Im reading tbe comments abd it sermsike some of us had it in December… Myself, my husband and one of my sons who is 14 yrs old, that hardly ever gets sick, took us down gradually for about 8 days straight days. We hit a peak mid week and then descended towards the end of the week. Whats funny is around the second to the last day, we thought we felt better, but it brought us back down again for another day. All 3 of us, everything the same… We’ve never had a flu like that before
If you in nor cal go to stanford University
If you in socal come to usc
We teamed up with stanford stay blessed
@Braze The Daze thanks Stanford University it is 👍
Thanks looking it up for norcal.
Test in norcal, seems to be doctor referral only at this time. Probably a study to eliminate false positives. That’s my view on the information, however if you can get a appointment do so I won’t discourage anyone.
Can I get a test if I only feel sick when Trump is talking?
@J Moore
Let’s make you a retroactive abortion….
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can Republicans get a text when they only feel sick when they catch Demo’Rat voters Licking their Mothers used Tampax’s ??.
@Dadson worldwide Those with TDS can do America a favor. And put a fking Gun in their mouths and pull the trigger. !! Bang Splat !!
Kirk Moore
Kirk “Rambo” – LET’S. Who is US? YOU and WHO??????
I cannot believe how poorly protected the officials are. Some do not even wear gloves…so sad and dangerous
the CDC does not recommend that people wear gloves. they aren’t necessary. you don’t get sick through your fingers, you get sick through your face. when you touch something contaminated with a bug, then touch your eyes, nose, or mouth, the bug is able to enter your respiratory system. wearing gloves just means the virus travels to your face on the gloves.
wear a face mask. that keeps the stuff out of your mouth and nose, and serves a physical reminder to not touch the rest of your face. Otherwise, just wash your hands before touching your face. soap destroys the virus. gloves do nothing.
In Australia my state, Victoria has 1,281 cases of which 1,075 have recovered. We have had ten deaths. Prompt management by a government which locked us down weeks ago.
GO PIES
@over opinionated na, Swans are better 🙂 & we’re still allowed to do driving lessons up here 😛 is considered as education unable to be done at home & so fine for travel to 🙂
Your state’s gone a little over the top imo in enforcing the “lockdown” I thought it was just meant to be a “stay at home if you can” direction
@Lilac Lizard Figures speak for themselves.
@Mr Brightside yeh, we’ve dropped from 212 to 7, you’ve only dropped dropped from 110 to 10 😛 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-03-17/coronavirus-cases-data-reveals-how-covid-19-spreads-in-australia/12060704
Why are they talking about reopening when they havent even closed down the country completely?
its not needed
Depends on what Hannity is currently telling him to do. Trump is himself unable to analyze anything more complex than “polls up = good; polls down = lying polls”.
I’ve been in many places in the world, I got to say, California is home to some of the smartest people in the world.
Dr. Merlot real funny, take a stroll in a Walmart!
They’re obviously not smart enough to know what to do about the homeless.
@conan Smith while walmarts are everywhere, silicon valleys are not
@J Moore Ship ’em back to your state where they came from.
Dr. Merlot YES INDEED!! 👏👏👏
God Bless California and everyone in the world 🌍🌎🌏
“Test people who don’t have it or don’t have symptoms to see if they might have been a carrier?? Man shut up. Get outta here with this crap that’s making people lose their livelihoods !!
