Coronavirus

[Oracle]

What do people make of the infection figures?

Seems to me there is no mechanism for officially noticing other than cases serious enough to need medical attention which may only be small minority:

Also rightly or wrongly self employed and small businesses simply cannot shutdown and still afford to eat. It’s a hard world.

I’m hearing lots of people coughing, saying it’s not CV, but with clear chest problems, but no obvious signs of fever.

I’ve also read that only very low grade fever necessarily accompanies it, which is annoying rather than debilitating.

So as conjecture I’d say that the current infection rate might be far higher than anyone is claiming and therefore the death rate may be far lower than is assumed.
