Less than 1% of Austria's population is infected with the coronavirus, a study published on Friday found, based on testing a representative sample of more than 1,500 people.

VIENNA - Less than 1% of Austria’s population is infected with the coronavirus, a study published on Friday found, based on testing a representative sample of more than 1,500 people.

The first such study in continental Europe, led by pollster SORA which is known for projecting election results, aimed to provide a clearer picture of the total number of infections, given gaps in testing. “Based on this study, we believe that 0.33% of the population in Austria was acutely infected in early April,” SORA co-founder Christoph Hofinger told a news conference. Given the margin of error, the figure was 95% likely to be between 0.12% and 0.76%.

Austria reacted early to the outbreak in the country, closing schools, restaurants, theatres and other gathering places more than three weeks ago, and telling the population to stay home and work from there if possible.

Aussie Aussie Aussie oi oi oi!

If true that 60% of the earth’s population is supposed to eventually get this virus, that’s actually not comforting. We need people with antibodies.

Marvelous

There were no antibody tests, so the conclusion is both misleading and worthless in estimating how many people have been infected to make any useful inferences about transmission and herd immunity. But of course there are politicians using it to justify continued hysteria.

The present number of cases in Spain, 157,022, also means 0.33% of the Spanish population.

No wonder as all tourist's and foreign workers went home to their home countrys

That means 29.234 cases, with 696 deaths, by Austria’s present death rate by coronavirus. By now Austria has 13.398 cases, with 319 deaths.

That's good news. But what's the sample size? A double-blind experiment? The sampling place? What is the age of the test population? Gender?

Respect!

Can we already have sex? Do I have to wait fourteen days?

Austria has reported approx 13,000 cases | more than 273 deaths Latest updates | cases per million population👇 COVID COVIDー19

You've Got Less Mail: The Postal Service Is Suffering Amid The CoronavirusIf you've checked your mail lately, you may have noticed there's not much of it. The volume of mail being sent is way down. And that's bad news for the U.S. Postal Service, advocates say. Perhaps the Postal Service should consider going electronically instead of wasting paper, and putting people’s lives at risk, by delivering needless paper I'm doing my part by buying everything Amazon sells. And still 80% is junk mail that goes into the garbage unopened. If they charged full price for the junk mailers they would have a bit more $$$. End bulk rate.
