I also have seen the 40% figure quoted BUT it comprises those who are generally asymptomatic, meaning those who will never show symptoms and it also includes those who are infected in the early stages and have not yet developed symptoms BUT will develop them in due course.Quote:

Estimates of those infected without symptoms seem to vary greatly depending on how it is measured. Is it a % of:
Random samples of the total population
The total number of people tested
The number of people who test positive
Some other group.
Also, is it at the time of testing, or some time later?
This seems like a good explanation of Coronavirus - I learned some things from it.

20,856 tests done in the 24 hours to Wednesday morning, one positive result. 20,000 tests each day for the rest of the week would be good, you would have to think a proper cross section of the community in Brisbane would be covered with these numbers, and a more confident prediction of COVID in our community able to be given. Yet it seems that the more we hear about this virus, the less we know. Did you hear about the Millionaire from Melbourne who loaded his family on his luxury yacht, stopped in at a few places on the NSW coast on the way, and now they are being made to quarantine in a hotel at their own expense. [ they probably own the hotel [bighmmm]]
Earlier, Queensland Health said new information had been provided that indicated the owner of the Lady Pamela had obtained an exemption to the state’s border restrictions based on incomplete information.NSW police are also investigating the sailing trip. NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller told the ABC the state’s emergency operations controller, Deputy Commissioner Gary Worboys, would look into the issue. And then this;
In other border issues, a 50-year-old woman has been fined after travelling to Mackay from Tweed Heads.
She reportedly had a border pass allowing her to travel within the NSW-Queensland border bubble region.
The woman also faces several driving charges. She will appear in the Mackay Magistrates Court on September 15.
Some people just don't get it.
Worth pointing out that in this country front seat belts were required on all new cars years before they were required on rear seats!Quote:

Absolutely Ian. I have acted in many cases where those not wearing seatbelts or helmets end up needing 24 hour care for the rest of their lives (huge costs to them obviously in terms of what they have lost- some have no insight so those people don't know what they have lost, and their families) at massive cost to the tax payer diverting funds that might better have been used elsewhere. Eevo your arguments just don't stack up.Quote:
