Anywhere between 221,000 and 442,000 L.A. County residents could have been infected with the COVID19 illness per a newly released antibody study
Anywhere between 221,000 and 442,000 Los Angeles County residents could have been infected with the COVID-19 illness, per a newly released antibody study done in partnership between USC and the L.A. County Department of Public Health.
Sood, a USC professor of public policy at the USC Price School for Public Policy and senior fellow at USC Schaeffer Center for Health Policy and Economics, said the estimates suggest that disease prediction models need to be recalibrated, as do public health strategies. The county has been under strict social distancing and safer-at-home guidelines since mid-March, a lockdown that currently remains in effect through May 15.
Also at Monday's briefing, Ferrer announced 1,491 newly diagnosed cases, but she was quick to point out that the high number is attributed to a backlog of test results and does not represent a single-day spike. Without the backlog of results, there would have been 293 newly diagnosed cases announced Monday. Currently, L.A. County has 13,816 confirmed cases.
