New data out of Germany using serological testing found 14 % of the population presented antigens against COVID19. This is massive if nearly 1⁄7 of the population has already contracted the disease and developed some type of immunity. This is only one piece of data, however, and is even much higher than the Iceland estimates of 50% asymptomatic and 50% symptomatic.
That German study only refers to Germany’s COVID-19 hotspot area and does not apply at all to the larger population.
There are also connections to a PR agency and one of that agency’s founders was the former head of the notorious “Bild” tabloid newspaper. Given the fact that on the one hand a PR agency should be able to provide a correct narrative, and on the other hand the study’s results have been reported wrongly quite often, you should take that study with a grain of salt.
