No herd immunity as some suggested. That means no early return of cured patients to the workforce. It is going to be a protracted economic recession.

Percentages?

Old man Reuter had created his great catechesis of reporting over a century ago.

91 equals about 1%

or the test has an error rate and a few people are immunocompromised

this came out on 20th of march, this is just a confirmation indicator. Nothing new

*Edit: News that ppl could get infected twice already came out of China and Japan on the 20th of March 2020

That's 2 thus far from the 1Mil+ confirmed cases, think we can put this down to testing errors personally.

Personally I think Herd is the only way to go, fight it, it'll come back, can't keep fighting it, too costly and too much of peoples lives lost sitting around there homes BORED!!

UK would of stuck with herd, basic social distancing we'd be exactly where we are currently, the effects are just about to start, looking like hospitals with the extra beds would of coped, no where near capacity without the extra beds so far.

London was over due to Herd and rapidly improving before the lockdowns.

Probably, faulty test kits. That is why Italy got hit badly. Test kits were giving negative readings for people already positive. Now, what are the chances that the cured gains immunity from Corona Virus? These are doctors saying it that when you are cured, you can no longer be infected again nor infect others. I will take the word of the doctors. US was smart to make sure the test kits they bought actually, worked. Other countries got shafted but, then, again did not test the test kits if they actually was any good before buying them?

Colorada have done 986 anti body tests on random people.

Only 8 out of 986 people had confirmed antibodies.

Herd immunity is a long ways off.

From the same article, this portion of it where it mentioned false test results. Liberal media never talks about the faulty test kits. How many Italians died because of it? How many Europeans from other countries relied on the faulty test kits?

False test results could also be at fault, other experts said, or remnants of the virus could still be in patients’ systems but not be infectious or of danger to the host or others.
