Australia could have had close to 72,000 coronavirus cases by July, a new study into antibodies suggests.
The team largely involved researchers from the Australian National University's John Curtin School of Medical Research, as well as deputy chief medical officer Nick Coatsworth.Some 2991 elective surgery patients were screened, with 41 having antibodies to the virus.Using an Australian population estimate of 25.5 million, the researchers calculated 71,400 people could have had the virus.
AAAANNND yet, No additional deaths? No additional hospital cases? Increasing unassisted recoveries? Makes the extreme cases 4 time LESS LIKELY.
Up to 60k, or roughly 70k? Make up your mind
So even less deadly than what we thought?
Illnesses aren't spread by healthy people. Asymptomatic people shouldn't be the focus of this illness anymore than they are the focus of measles or chicken pox. Mass testing healthy/asymptomatic ppl is insane and landing us with horrifically harmful policies.
Even less deadly then
Blows the whole lockdown and curfew model out the window. We have been crashing the country without knowing the true reality.
So is it 60k or 70k?
Also brings down IFR significantly - considering antibodies tests are not comprehensive.
That weak of a virus people dont even know they have it. A-symptomatic
Lol lower the percentage of fatalities even more meaning we are destroying our economy and welcoming a police state for something less harmful then the common flu. Bravo people bravo
If this is true then why the hell are we destroying the economy?
It just shows that people who are asymptomatic or have extremely mild symptoms wont come forward or present for testing, Covid will be in our communities no matter how vigalant we are. Its a part of life now.
Some pretty fluffy numbers and claims in this article. And doesnt link to the report.
I’m pretty sure I caught this late last year, from a friend from work who went on holiday in Thailand.

60,000 more people may have had COVID-19 than detected: studySeven times as many Australians could have been infected with the coronavirus than official figures suggest, according to a new antibody study. Bullshit ‘This is at least data. Dictator Dan just uses modeling for his draconian lockdown. Is this the same modelling that said we’d need 35000 ICU beds?

Victoria records 42 COVID cases, eight deathsBREAKING: Victoria has recorded 42 new cases of coronavirus on Wednesday as a Melbourne cafe owner launches legal action against the city’s contentious curfew. I agree with cafe owners. They should be allowed to open and when they close, they should head down the road to the nearest hospital to donate some time treating Covid patients. Win win Fuck that cafe owner must be doing alright if she’s got the cash to sue that government and lose 😂

Coronavirus updates LIVE: Victoria records 42 new COVID-19 cases, no new deaths for first time in more than two months; Australian death toll stands at 816NSW has recorded seven new coronavirus cases in the latest 24-hour reporting period. The state's daily test figure dropped to 8835, after NSW Health expressed concern yesterday that not enough people were coming forward for testing. An average of 44 people die in Victorian nursing homes every day. Has anybody seen a graph that shows incremental deaths during this period? Report hospitalisations as well. Otherwise it’s fairly useless. All these “cases” and very few actual deaths. What about focusing on the positive for e.g that 95 year old man who was isolated in hospital for 5 weeks AND SURVIVED COVID. ANd what about the fact that Aussie scientists found a cure for covid but won’t release it to the public?
