Abstract

The article discusses a German study on fighting the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic via sampling the entire population for antibodies to gain insight on COVID-19's society penetration, lethality, and whether immunity from it is possible as of April 2020. It states that the government hopes to determine what restrictions are most effective in slowing the virus, and which can be safely lifted. Also noted is the problematic non-detection of viral infections due to asymptomatic transmission.
