Fox News reporter John Roberts was caught on a hot mic in the White House briefing room discussing the Coronavirus mortality John Roberts walked into the press briefing room and told a technician to take off his mask because according to a recent California study, the mortality rate for the Coronavirus is only 0.1% to 0.3%.“Everyone here’s been vaccinated anyway,” the technician said. “USC and LA public county health came out with a study that found that there’s 7,000 cases in Southern California but they really believe that there are

First, I have to say that I don't much like John Roberts, he is always looking for a way to make the President look bad.
There are still serious questions about the specificity of several of these new antibody tests. They could be detecting other coronaviruses, like the common cold.
Too soon to get all locked in to this one test, and assume it has all the amswers. I'm skeptical of these results.
If this was the case, not worse than normal flu, and flu shots effective (which is what Roberts seems to be saying) why all those dead in Spain, Italy, UK and the rest of Europe?

Did we see anyone's lips move to match this conversation?
It could be fake, itself.
And, WHAT vaccination?
There's a vaccination that is only available to the Press Corps?

#4, I think Roberts is implying that the flu shot will protect against the Wuhan flu.
Roberts is a dangerous fool.

More people die from the flu than the Coronavirus and the country is never shut down on account of the flu. Why is that? An excuse to bankrupt the country?

I spent two years setting up a project in the former Soviet Union. A scientist from one country, an acknowledged expert in making monoclonal antibodies, was willing to make antibodies to a dangerous pathogen (for a test), but the trick is that his lab wasn't permitted to work with the dangerous pathogen itself in whole, functional form. So, the solution is to chop up the pathogen, and make antibodies to the bits. Many/most of the antibodies will be useless, but SOME of the antibodies will be specific to some fragment which is present on the exterior of the pathogen, and therefore will be specific to the pathogen.
We found a lab in another country which was licensed and approved to work with that pathogen, to test the specificity of this mix of antibodies against it....so we could find out WHICH antibodies would be precisely specific to the pathogen of interest. Specificity was critical.
Specificity is everything in testing antibodies. Your test MUST identify the antibodies for the pathogen of interest (Wuhan flu in this case) and MUST NOT stick to antibodies for any other pathogens. BUT, some antibodies might be similar, especially between similar pathogens....like two corona viruses, which have similar external structure. The common cold is a corona virus and pretty much everyone has had one or another form of that. So a test with poor specificity could be IDing a lot of common cold 'survivors'.
This is why antibody tests are potentially very frought. It takes a lot of very difficult testing to be certain that you are ONLY finding the exact right antibodies. Easy to err when in a huge hurry.
John Robert is a NeverTrumper, and that one California test may be real or it may be baloney. Too soon to know on the test. I know about Roberts.

I read that study about the effectiveness of masks. It said that cloth masks only stop about 2% of the air flow, so you can still contact the virus while wearing one. The high efficiency masks block 100% of the air flow, they kept the virus out, but you die from suffocation.

My guess is Roberts did not inform anyone. Let’ s see how honest he is & see if he reports this in Fox.
