On what proof?

One experts guess. There are vastly more experts making guesses on much larger number sizes around the world that are putting the % much lower than this one single sensationalist MSM headline suggests. Of course they do not confirm the right bias as well, so ignore those. The ones that confirm the right bias are the ones to use - by definition. Heven forbid you start with the simple plain indisputable numbers we do have so far.

These numbers...?

World wide population ~7bn
Infected <5m
Dead <400,000
Recovered >1½m

Scary stuff eh?

On what proof?

It is based on the following scientific study conducted at Manchester University:

Nice to hear some good news for a change.

The only science worth lisning to is to actually test all the people first and then make a report.

India, Brazil, Russia number of infections all still doubling at rate of every 14-15 days currently. Other places even faster than these. World around every month. Highly likely that on global level there is massive under reporting. So what is the number CG ? How many global infection and deaths before you would change your mind. I keep asking but still no answer yet ? Is there ANY number that could ever lead to you changing your mind ?

Hendrik Streeck worked with a sample of over 1000 in Heinsberg, population 42,000, making that about 2.5%. So, in your view, his study is deviod of scientific worth?

No, but his study only relates to the area in question. It does not apply universally.

Great, so 2.5% is OK. Yes, each study is only for one place, but when they all start confirming one another, first in Heinsberg, then Santa Clara, California and now the UK, and this chimes in with a previous study in Iceland which had been discounted as having universal application as Iceland is so isolated, then it starts to look more and more as if this is a universal pattern. Yes, more studies are still needed, but if they keep showing that far more people have been infected than was thought, then this Covid business looks as if it is no great deal - and this is exactly what UK Chief Medical Officer Chris Whitty said behind closed doors in a briefing attended by Boris Johnson the other day (I posted this clip yesterday) - and the original fear and panic was overblown. So we can all calm down and get back to living as normal, while making sure that the vulnerable are protected. I think this is wonderful news.
