UK Study Covid-19, 80% of people no symptoms
Apr 11^th, 2021 at 10:00am

Much in line with the first reports that came out at the start of 2020.

Quote:

Over 80% of people with coronavirus didn’t have key symptoms, UK study finds

University College London researchers studied data collected by U.K. statistics body, the Office for National Statistics, which has been regularly collecting coronavirus testing data from thousands of British households during the pandemic as part of its “infection survey.” The survey tests households whether they have symptoms or not.

The study, which was peer reviewed, looked at 36,061 individuals who took a coronavirus test as part of the infection survey between 26 April and 27 June 2020.

It found that 86.1% of those who tested positive for the virus did not report “core” symptoms associated with the virus (a cough, fever or a loss of taste and/or smell) on the day they took a test. Out of the 115 people that received a positive coronavirus result, only 16 reported the main symptoms that we associate with the virus.

Ever since statistics started coming out of China and then the rest of the world.

The message has been very consistent with approximate results being,

1. 80% of people don't know they have it or experience the sniffles.

2. 15% have severe exffects

3. 5% may need hospitalisation and a certain number will die.

Quote:

A recent study, published in the British Medical Journal, suggested that 78% of people with COVID-19 have no symptoms.

The findings are in line with research from an Italian village at the epicentre of the outbreak showing that 50%-75% were asymptomatic, but represented “a formidable source” of contagion.

A recent Icelandic study also showed that around 50% of those who tested positive to COVID-19 in a large-scale testing exercise were asymptomatic.

Meanwhile, a WHO report found that “80% of infections are mild or asymptomatic, 15% are severe infections and 5% are critical infections”.

Though we don’t know what proportion of that 80% were purely asymptomatic, or exactly how the cases were counted, it again points to a large majority of cases who are not going into hospital and being tested.

You're essentially showing why vaccination is the only option here.

Look at the numbers and work out what is wrong with this story ?

i.e. People who had the virus are supposedly now immune.

About 35 Mil Americans were sick with the virus. This number by this story represents about 16% of the people who had the virus or close to 60% of all Americans.

Put on top of that the people isolating and wearing masks and what you have is a situation where a long time ago the cases would have tanked and people would have stopped getting sick.

However this didn't happen - what would have happened if this story were true clearly did not ?

Yes over 80% of the population were either immune or protected and still 3,000 people a day were catching the disease as late as Feb Mar ? How could this have been happening with herd immunity at over 80% ????

The data clearly shows the story to be BS.

Controlling this. Asymptomatic people are actually the worst when it comes to the spread.

How do you figure.....???

If 80% of people are immune to this virus....!!!!

Then why the need to vaccinate everyone....!?!?

They masters of the universe have been quoting 75% for herd immunity.

Vaccinate the vulnerable.

The USA population is 331 million.

80% of 331 million = 264.8 million

The rest equals = 66.2 million.

Still sound like bullshit to you.....?

To date 31.6 million reported cases in the USA with 565K deaths. The death rate is much like the seasonal flu.

New machine-learning algorithm estimates number of COVID-19 cases in the U.S.

World health experts have long suspected that the incidence of COVID-19 has been higher than reported. Now, a machine-learning algorithm developed at UT Southwestern estimates that the number of COVID-19 cases in the U.S. since the pandemic began is nearly three times that of confirmed cases.

The algorithm, described in a study published today in PLOS ONE, provides daily updated estimates of total infections to date as well as how many people are currently infected across the U.S. and in 50 countries hardest hit by the pandemic.

As of Feb. 4, according to the model's calculations, more than 71 million people in the U.S. – 21.5 percent of Americans – had contracted COVID-19. That compares with the substantially smaller 26.7 million publicly reported number of confirmed cases, says Jungsik Noh, Ph.D., a UT Southwestern assistant professor in the Lyda Hill Department of Bioinformatics and first author of the study.

Of those 71 million Americans estimated to have had COVID-19, 7 million (2.1 percent of the U.S. population) had current infections and were potentially contagious on Feb. 4, according to the algorithm.

So are people that have had the jab.

Once you are vaccinated you can still catch covid-19 and spread it around just like a person who has not had the jab.

When it comes to spreading the virus it doesn't matter whether you have had the jab or not.

Sterilising immunity is when you have been vaccinated and can no longer spread the virus.

The current crop of vaccines do not provide sterilising immunity.
