Has anyone seen this?
Californians may have developed some herd immunity to coronavirus last year, Stanford team theorizes
https://abc7news.com/coronavir...-california/6091220/
I was wondering if part of the reason was population density and the fact that CA drives everywhere instead of subway and NY possibly eating out more because of tiny apartments with small kitchens etc. Herd immunity makes sense to me.

I wonder how much of this is an artifact of testing policies or other issues? Texas has a lower (measured) infection rate per capita than California. And NY has roughly 10x the infection rate of Florida, 6x the rate in Pennsylvania and Illinois.

Like I said above--radical uncertainty... It would be great if the article RJM linked to is correct. Someday if we are able to do widespread testing of asymptomatic folks, we may know.
