I just saw on the BBC that in Wales and Mr Gethin said that 42,000 people had been tested and 11,000 tests proved positive.
This means something like a quarter of the population appears to have the virus. clearly not all of those a critically ill or even hospitalised so is this figure actually a good thing in disguise?
The other factor is that the people being tested are in high risk circumstances but until testing they may still have infected others not i not at high risk.
Does it tend to prove that the vast majority of people get it only mildly and also does it mean that with far more people getting it and recovering without hospitalisation that more and more will have the antibodies which (hopefully) will prevent them getting it again and there there will be fewer people from whom we can then catch it?
The number seems high but is it a good thing in the long term or a bad thing?
Any thoughts?
