china now saying, people recovered, and negative test, are now re-infected, if its true, that's scary.
Why? Many carriers are asymptomatic, the more you test the more you can find the carriers, in an ideal world you would test everyone.Pretty pointless testing people that haven't got it .
There are no statistics on how many have been infected. They simply don't exist, only those who have been treated or died following a positive test. Remember the government advice? Don't go to your doctor or hospital unless you're really bad. Just stay home and self isolate.
Any figures quoted are just made up.
You just made that up. That’s the trouble with social media. Every kind of idiocity gets traction.
Isn't that the problem generally people don't know if they have or haven't had it. The Government don't know who has or hasn't had it and i would guess are not sure in a lot of cases if people have died because of it or it was just a secondary factor. Therefore they put theur trust in a bunch of advisors for who this is a dream come true a Real Pandemic something they have hoped p always come along and now they can put all their theories into practice.Show me where the government says you have to report all suspected cases of the virus. Ringing 111 to ask about how to deal with symptoms does not guarantee a home visit and test to confirm it.
COVID-19 symptoms and what to do
Find out about the symptoms of COVID-19, what to do if you or your child has them and when to get medical help.www.nhs.uk
WHO has stated most tests used are only 70% accurate, with people with a mild dose, do not report it/visit doc, we certainly have friends in London, who have had really bad flu, or c19? With that information, what is the point of testing.You just made that up. That’s the trouble with social media. Every kind of idiocity gets traction.
If the virus really is as contagious as some reports say I expect that's going to be the end result regardless of how many lockdowns are imposed on us.Still it's a good job I'm not advising the Government I'd be telling them let it run and we will see whose standing at the end.
I think, lockdown, in the end, will be shown to have been the wrong move.If the virus really is as contagious as some reports say I expect that's going to be the end result regardless of how many lockdowns are imposed on us.
No one knows but if only 4 % have been infected it isnt that contagious is it so why have lockdown, also if only 4 % have had why are so many of the great and good had it, loads of really famous and not so famous have been tested positve so I think it's far more as why are they catching it when they are less likely to be in crowded tube trains etc, some of the ones we know who have had it are young and spend a lot of times in crowded bars etc dont think Duke of E or boris or tom Hanks do yet they all caught itSo only 4% have been infected, and nearly 40,000 have died.
Crikey, this lockdown needs to continue indefinitely.

most of the really famous are attention seekers, and love lots of people fawning over them, more people = more risk.The list of really famous people would be extraordinarily long...

4% is the best estimate and the working assumption of the Chief Scientific officer who has all the reports, studies and data to back it up. Perhaps they are wrong by 100% but there is more than enough data to show it is well below 10%. How many great and good do you know who had the virus, now list all the other great and good.... these days everyone had had their minute of fame there are literally hundreds of thousands of your so called great and good from front line politicians to z list tv personalities.
For fear of repeating myself once again a virus doesn't need to be highly contagious to go though and entire population that has no immunity, it only needs to be contagious enough that on average 1 infected person infects 1 or more other people. Prior to lockdown this was the case, it was on average 2-3 new infections arising from contact with an infected person. This seemingly low rate of infection was enough that the number of cases and deaths was doubling every 4 days. Doubling is a very powerful force, small numbers become very very big numbers within a short time. Lockdown has cut the transmission rate below 1, the number of new cases and deaths each day is falling as a result. Unfortunately the numbers infected and the transmission rate is still too high that we might quickly contain the virus. If the rate rises back above 1 as measures are relaxed then lockdown may ultimately have been futile and only delayed the spread though the majority of the population. Time will tell.

Except we haven't got 130k cases a day , you need a tranquiliserHaving every week would be a much more powerful tool!
This would be the time line it we follow a halving every 2 weeks line trajectory and assuming R doesn't creeps up, as it is certain to do once relaxation of the restrictions come in.

I cant like that but I do agree. I so hope it isn't but I honestly would not be surprised with the figure being twice that.The way things are going I would not be surprised to see the UK have 100,000 deaths from it over the next 12 months. Even 300 deaths a day for 300 days...
