In the new study, the researchers sought residents through Facebook to whom they could administer the antibody tests. The results were an unadjusted prevalence of coronavirus antibodies of 1.5 percent. After making various statistical and demographic adjustments, researchers calculated the likely prevalence ranged from 2.49 to 4.16 percent. At the time that these tests were administered, there were about 1,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 32* deaths from the disease in Santa Clara County. The upshot is that "these prevalence estimates represent a range between 48,000 and 81,000 people infected in Santa Clara County by early April, 50- 85-fold more than the number of confirmed cases."
Using these data, the researchers calculated the infection fatality rate, that is, the percent of people infected with the disease who die: "A hundred deaths out of 48,000-81,000 infections corresponds to an infection fatality rate of 0.12-0.2%," they report.* That's about the same infection fatality rate the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates for seasonal influenza.
Not sure about that. The flu is about 0.1%. Currently, according to the John Hopkins map, we have 766,664 active cases and 40,931 fatalities. Which comes out to about 5.3%, over 50 times that of the flu. With those deaths, we'd need 40,931,000 cases to have a 0.1% mortality rate. It isn't likely we've undercounted by that amount.

Clearly these scientists need to be re-educated. They are not towing the line, and are directly contradicting information which has been reported by party officials.
Those who minimalize the lethality of CV19 have sinister motives.
Excellent work, cultist. Your Dear Dirtbag Leader will be pleased.
The only "cultist" around here are the people who constantly use the word "cultist". It's very creepy!
It’s what I thought all along, and I won’t wear a useless mask.
