A GERMAN study of the country’s death rate could mean that as many as 7.9million Brits have been infected with the coronavirus. The research paper by the University of Bonn suggests that the …
From this figure, the scientists extrapolated that Germany must have ten times more infections than first through - potentially at 1.8million.
And then this same working applied to Britain, taking the latest official figure of 29,424, would mean the infection total would have to be as high as 7.9million as compared to the official figure of 194,990, more than 40 times higher.With the death toll compared to the potential figure, that would mean millions of Brits may have had the deadly virus and survived.
It is because this that the official infection total is so high alongside the relatively small death toll - with other European nations Britain, France, Italy and Spain all approaching the grim milestone of 30,000. The team analysed blood and nasal swabs from a random sample of 919 people living in Gangelt to come up with the death rate of 0.37%.Applied to the UK's suggested figure of 7.9million, that would mean up to 1.58million carriers are completely unaware they had the coronavirus.
