Haven't been able to find the actual study but I'd like to learn more about why antibody presence is only 5% in Spain but well over 40% in some towns in Italy.

There are different strains evolving, maybe the testing is flawed?
Has there been any cases where someone has had it twice?

Isn't the issue you are comparing a sample average to a subset. While Spain is only 5%, Madrid is over double that and similar in the UK with London at 17% compared to a national average of 5%

From what I've read, Spain suffered hugely in small towns and villages, and in care homes. Cities and population centres were not too affected - less than 200 of every 100,000 people I think - and with the immediate and strict lockdown, the virus wasn't spread wide. The strategy here has been the exact opposite of herd immunity.

Has anyone read the lancet article about 5% immunity just published.
