At 1.5% mortality rate, that would be over 16M deaths. If this has not happened, where do you think is the discrepancy in the professors viewpoint?

Tell me how wrote: » So, leaving aside the comparatively small levels of testing (circa 20K) by their reckoning, 50% of people with it are asymptomatic, that would imply only 8M or so would have died in China, or, if you use the mortality rate which Iceland has 0.38%, China's death toll would have been in the region of 4M. Do you think this happened?
terrydel wrote: » 936 dead there today. Hows that herd immunity working out for you?
housemouse wrote: » a) Many of them were infected weeks ago, when the UK was building its immunity (a process that is stunted by social distancing). b) 1,600 people die in the UK every day. What matters is excess deaths over a period of e.g. 12 months, not daily deaths with the virus. c) (Prepare to be triggered.) Whatever the death toll of the virus, the costs of any plan to reduce that toll need to be analysed.
terrydel wrote: » Prepare to be triggered? What does that mean? More abuse from you. Youre a real brave man behind your keyboard with your 30 odd posts of trolling. So something comes along and the approach to it results in an increase in the daily death rate of over 50% and you think thats a good thing and the way forward?
