Hi Nick,
Please watch Dr. Jay Bhattacharya on YouTube. Stanford Medicine just published a seroprevalence study of Sta Clara County in Northern California. Study shows that for every 1 person that the PCR test method has identified, there are 45 to 80 more asymptomatic people in that county using the anti-body test.
