Useless information until we find out how many people have t-cell immunity.

BorisTheButcher So, the UK needs 60% to reach HerdImmunity, so 10 times as many infections required and 10 times as many deaths ? But 6% is likely to be a gross over estimate, so you can probably double the number of future deaths above.

60,000 deaths = 2% fatality rate. Unchecked transmission of COVID would mean 1 million deaths in the UK. Like a plane crash, every second, for a whole day. All of this was obvious by 10 March. Yet they resisted lockdown for 2 weeks and thought “herd immunity” was desirable.

How many are sick?

Not enough for herd immunity, but sufficient to have a small impact on transmission rates, according to SIR type models.

If not more.

Catholic study centre closed after NSW Covid cluster grows at Tangara School for GirlsEremeran Hills Study Centre in Sydney’s north says students from school attended study camp, as NSW records 18 new coronavirus cases, including a second worker at Hornsby hospital It's almost like we rushed to open schools without proper planning. Who would have guessed? Caused by our prime minister Scott Morrison who allowed Coronavirus into Australia followed by Gladys Berejiklian who refused to test at airports, let Ruby Princess passengers off without a look & then invited infected Victorians into the state. Schools are tip of large iceberg. This is where my brother and his family live. Its become a hot spot. Stay safe people .Dont go to the beach , your church or anywhere else. Just take care .
