You think the UK coronavirus outbreak was bad? Just wait till winter: Study shows test-and-trace system is failing

Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics

based on the global figures (colated by the WHO) the current global situation is:

19,294,150 cases

718,339 deceased

thats a mortality rate of 3.7%

in the UK its 308,134 cases 46,413 deaths @ rate of 15.06%

now either the virus is more deadly for Brits (probably not) or we are just not catching all the cases

with the fact brits are only geting tested when symptomatic and according to various studies, upto 50% of transmision happens from those pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic, seems we should be testing everyone.
