Yesterday Valance said antibody testing has been taking place in the UK. The results suggest the infection rates are:
London 10%
The rest of the UK 4%
Assuming the UK's population is 66,650000, London's is 8,982000 and there have been 50000 C19 deaths in the UK.
Total number of infections: (London 898200, Rest of UK 2306720) 320492
Total number of deaths: 50000
Mortality rate: (100/3204920) * 50000 = 1.56%
Ouch! That's utterly horrendous. No wonder people are so scared. It's early in the morning so my calculation must be wrong. Please correct me.
