People on here didn't like what I put up. It was on sky news, said by a Doctor.
So I have taken it down ok.

Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

There have been almost 8, 000, deaths and the total cases are 65,000 , the mortality rate is 12%. That doesn't take in consideration those who haven't been tested and have remained home.So this is far worse than anything we have seen before.


Tbh though the amount of people who have actually been infected is probably four times that. It seems it's very hard to be a confirmed case and normally you have to be admitted to hospital

To be confirmed yes in hospital. If not, you stay at home and have to fill in a form with your symptoms, etc, so an accurate number will be impossible to get

Exactly so I suspect realistically the rate of death would be around 1-2 percent of all cases were counted. Still far higher than 0.2 percent for flu

The death stat is only from confirmed cases though and very many more will have had/will get this virus.
The worldometer stats suggest that of the confirmed cases about 6-8% die,

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

The confirmed cases will be a minority number compared to how many people have actually had it and the death rates so far vary greatly by age group too

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/13/how-many-will-die-of-coronavirus-i

But the death rate from confirmed cases (in that article) is 3-4% which it goes on to say is probably higher than the rate for the total number of cases and we'll probably never know that with any accuracy.

PS scaremongering is bad because, apart from scaring people without good cause, once it's outed as scaremongering it probably makes people feel safer than they really are too and more likely to break the rules...in my opinion.

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

I had my figures from worldometer, and do a basic math and it is 12%

Over 1,623,000 confirmed cases and 97,235 deaths, it's not 12%.

At 12% there would have been over 194,000 deaths.

Except that without a massive testing regime your baseline is in no way accurate.

This and to be admitted to hospital you will more than likely be in a bad way.

Lots of people will have it very mild or have had it and not shown any symptoms at all.

Sky news will have a lot to answer for at the end of this panademic and the effect their reporting will have had on peoples mental health.

Yes but again, those are the confirmed cases only and the numbers (as we have been told several times) are often a few days behind.

What the actual rate will be at the end of this we don't know but the real % could be no higher than 3-4%. It depends who you listen to and the experts havediffering opinions too,

https://www.newscientist.com/article/2239497-why-we-still-dont-know-what-the-dea

Until all the numbers are in (which is when the pandemic will have been beaten (technically speaking no longer officially a pandemic) and have been collated we won't know and even then it will only be of the confirmed cases. Accuracy is pretty much impossible unless you are testing everybody.
