> Bobbi, the figures are vague for all sorts of reasons, but at present 22,448 people in Britain have been confirmed with the illness, 1408 have died and 171 have recovered.
These figures are next to useless, apart from the deaths. We are not testing anywhere near enough. 22,458 confirmed cases is 0.034% of the population.
Estimates are that between 2% and 5% of the population have it or have had it. Maybe a bit above 5% in London, and a bit below 2% in more rural and remote locations. Overall about 1 in 30, which is why so many of us on AB know someone who has probably had it (only "probably", because they haven't been tested).

Ellipsis, I know. Bobbi was saying it was nice to hear of people recovering; but that particular figure is very low, so we won't hear about many of them.
Wasn't someone guesstimating that half the population had had it? I haven't been keeping up, so I don't know if that's been debunked.
I know a couple of people who have definitely got it and are recovering. I don't know anyone who might have it, but a couple of asthmatics who are isolating themselves because they mustn't risk getting it at all. None of them are Londoners, but it's based on a really quite limited number of "friends".
