There are 2,813,538 confirmed cases of COVID-19 globally so far today, with 196,412 deaths and 778,427 recoveries.
There are +26,396 new confirmed cases in the US so far today, bringing the total to 912,838.
The Antibody studies conducted in Santa Clara and LA, which suggested actual COVID19 cases could be 55 to 85 times higher than the currently confirmed cases, have been met with overwhelming criticism from statisticians and epidemiologists. One obvious flaw in the studies, which discovered a 1.5% rate of positive tests, is that the tests themselves have a .5% to 1.7% rate of false positives.
There are 39,684 total confirmed cases in the California so far today, compared to 276,711 cases in New York.
The total cases confirmed in Santa Cruz county is 115.
