April 3 (GMT)
Italy: the real number of COVID-19 cases in the country could be 5,000,0000 (compared to the 119,827 confirmed ones) according to a study which polled people with symptoms who have not been tested, and up to 10,000,000 or even 20,0000,000 after taking into account asymptomatic cases, according to Carlo La Vecchia, a Professor of Medical Statistics and Epidemiology at the Statale di Milano University.

This number would still be insufficient to reach herd immunity, which would require 2/3 of the population (about 40,000,000 people in Italy) having contracted the virus [source].

The number of deaths could also be underestimated by 3/4 (in Italy as well as in other countries) [source], meaning that the real number of deaths in Italy could be around 60,000.

If these estimates were true, the mortality rate from COVID-19 would be much lower (around 25 times less) than the case fatality rate based solely on laboratory-confirmed cases and deaths, since it would be underestimating cases (the denominator) by a factor of about 1/100 and deaths by a factor of 1/4.
Nothing is certain, it is all a presumption and relatively unimportant. "Lies, damned lies, and statistics"
Wrong - you're thinking of yourself there.

In relation to the coronavirus it is:
Estimates based on science, estimates based on science, and statistics.
My understanding has a full stop.

Harumph, too bloody good for 'em.....

Seriously, a sentence cleaning the bed pans at the local hospital might teach them. Or digging graves.
Just because I'm paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not out to get me

More to report back to the thread about Heroes & Villains of the Corona Virus era: Thoughtless rather than vindictive? Why do people pick up veg and other items in the supermarket only the put them down and repeat...? :crazy:
