UK population 2020 = 67,886,011 ,confirmed cases of Chinese virus (worldometers) 240161
so at least
1 in every 283 people have tested positive by government figures
balls to the R nought .
that's a lot of coughing confirmed people running round ,
daily briefing says 1 or 2 per 1000
they hide active cases and say total recovered is not applicable ,
so, it's very easy to see there could be a lot more than 1 in 283
I say that because no one is counting non tested asymptomatic carriers or stay at home ,self isolating who have not been tested .
but then take into account they say 80% have no or minor symptoms (so untested asymptomatic) not including people who self isolate with symptoms (also untested )
so 1 in 283 is only the 20% of what is possibly out there
so is it 283 /100 =2.83 x 20 =
1 in 56 people ? are my maths correct ? Saturday night quiz
