Experimental results

Mass Antibody Testing in This Rural Colorado County Sheds Light on COVID-19's Prevalence and Lethality
Of the 986 samples that had been processed as of last week, the health department reports, 955 were negative, eight were positive, and 23 were ambiguous. "An indeterminate or borderline result on the first test indicates that the result produced a 'high-signal flash' which is not enough to produce a positive result," the department explains. "It means that the individual may have been recently exposed to COVID-19 and/or may be in the early stage of producing antibodies."

Depending on the 'ambiguous' the death rate seems to be between .1% and .5%.  That would indicate there are many more infected than reported.
