[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 4442628, member: 18222"] This morning we have some data giving a little more insight into the great unknown of the coronavirus pandemic: just how widely among the population has SARS-CoV-2 — the virus which causes COVID-19 — spread among the general population. A team at the University of Bonn has tested a randomized sample of 1,000 residents of the town of Gangelt in the north-west of the country, one of the epicenters of the outbreak in Germany. The study found that two percent of the population currently had the virus and that 14 percent were carrying antibodies suggesting that they had already been infected — whether or not they experienced any symptoms. Eliminating an overlap between the two groups, the team concluded that 15 percent of the town have been infected with the virus. Data indicates a 15% infection rate. Data from coronavirus deaths in Gangelt suggests an infection mortality rate of 0.37 percent. The 15% infection rate is backed up by two other 'studies'. 1) The Diamond Princess, which inadvertently became a floating laboratory, showed a 17% infection rate. 2) A Chinese study in Shenzhen where scientists tested everyone who shared a household with people who were found to be suffering from the disease to be 15%.
