Then we could sit around and discuss how Trump hates pilots and we should defund the check airmen forces.

The Stanford study was only Santa Clara County CA, while the USC study was only Los Angeles County.
Stanford estimated 30 actual infections for every known confirmed positive case in Santa Clara County, while USC estimated about 43:1 in Los Angeles County.
Those higher values in those specific counties make sense compared to the entire state of Indiana IMO, given population densities and frequency of air travel from China to California.
Most serosurveys done around the country estimate actual infections around 10:1, though of course some localities are MUCH higher.

20% of August US Covid cases came from... Sturgis.
Wow. I guess we know what not to do for the next couple months.
