Only 135 recoveries for the Uk and 51 thousand cases with 5 thousand deaths. Does that mean another 40+ thousand deaths any time soon?
And now the PM is in intensive care, this virus is a bummer!
Thanks for thatNo, the recovery figures look alarming but they're not, there's no way of collecting accurate information on people who have tested positive but not subsequently died, these are in that 40,000 bracket above, 99% of them would have fecked off home as soon as they felt better but aren't considered 'recovered' because no one is 100% certain of that.
The 51,000 and 5,000 figures make it look like a 10% death rate but this isn't true neither. We only know about the 51,000 as they have tested positive, there will be a hundred people for each one of these so probably over half a million and by some estimates, 25% of the population has had/have it without knowing about it.
When we get to 80% we will have reached 'herd immunity'
Earlier this month, it was reported that the British government was hoping to achieve herd immunity across the nation by allowing the virus to make its way through the population.
It was said that the government wanted to ensure the coronavirus passes through the nation “at a much delayed speed so that those who suffer the most acute symptoms are able to receive the medical support they need”, in addition to ensuring health services are “not overwhelmed”.
On 15 March, a statement released by health secretary Hancock on the government’s website denied achieving herd immunity was its intention.
“We have a plan, based on the expertise of world-leading scientists. Herd immunity is not a part of it,” the statement read.
“That is a scientific concept, not a goal or a strategy. Our goal is to protect life from this virus, our strategy is to protect the most vulnerable and protect the NHS through contain, delay, research and mitigate.”
