Musing on something I saw tonight....
The WHO released a statement on 5th October saying they anticipated 1 in 10 people globally have had Coronavirus. So assuming global population of 7.8 billion people, 10% of this is 780 million people have had Coronavirus. There have been 1.15 million deaths recorded so this assumes a global death rate of 0.15%.
Furthermore, if we have had 50, 000 deaths already in the UK, at the death rate above this means 33 million people must have already had this in the UK (about half the population).
