I don't have any insight or analysis on this study. Just thought it apropos for us. =)
Though, I guess there's one question I had.
Quote:Among those with COVID antibodies in the MLB study, in the two weeks prior to the test:
- 2.7% had a fever
- 14% had a headache
- 8% had a cough (compared to 9% among those who tested negative)
- 0.9% had lost a sense of taste and smell
If only 60 people were positive, how can 0.9% of 60 have lost one of their senses? That's not even a whole person. Perhaps something lost in translation.

Perhaps the 0.9% referred to the denominator of 5,754.
Something is amiss, as quoted, the denominator was 60.
“Among those with COVID antibodies in the MLB study...”
Probably thr reporter screwed it up somewhere. Maybe the symptom frequencies were for all tested, not just those testing positive.
