It's called herd immunity by stealth.What kills me is, the government make the half hearted willy nilly rules like the virus knows times and places.
its a very very simple equation, the more we gather the more it travels. The moment we don't the numbers nose dive. But more worrying, the numbers are a load of rubbish.
How many with no symptoms have had or will get it and never get tested?, I'd say 10's of millions. Were 8 months in and testing is still a laugh.
You cannot count the unknown
Your maths are flawed.Normal flu virus transfer rate is 1.3-1.4 so on average if I had flu 1.3-1.4 would contract it from me.
By the time this has been passed ten fold I will have infected roughly 14-15 people
Covid is highly Contagious if I had Covid the average transfer rate is 3 so if I were to go about daily life by the time it had been transferred 10 times (first passes it to another then that person passes it on) it will have infected 56,000.
This is why the Govs asking to stay apart
If 500 positives came from 350k tests then it would be impossible for the infection rate for the whole area to be 500 per 100k.The figures make no sense at all.
Liverpool = 500 cases per 100,000 people.
Surely this means 500 positive tests from the total number of tests done?
If Cornwall did 800 tests in a week and found 80 cases this is classed as 'low' even though 10% of the tests come back positive.
The 500 positives in one area might be from 350,000 tests.
They should base the figures on how many tests were carried out
