My friend in Holland says he still has to go to work even though several people from his work place in Rosendaal tested positive.

We've had several precautionary cases so far at my workplace (Surprised no one has got it yet thankfully). I work in the food supply sector. And although i don't work with facing customers directly in my department. My workplace has reacted very slowly in the battle to keep customers and staff safe. They have now only recently improvised some methods (for customers / staff), but other critical aspects are still ignored.

With all this going on, it beggars belief that idiotic people still ignore government and scientific health advice.

Death rate doesn’t take into account of how many people having it and not being tested.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Correct, that's why I am saying of closed cases. Death rates also don't take into account how many died from Covid-19 and not being tested.

Yeah the death rate will be nowhere near 15%, not even close when all is said and done, that is the type of scaremongering we could really do without.

Italy has the highest at 10% currently but as mentioned many times the country has a large old age population.

The US is below 2% though the UK is up around 5%

Using closed cases is stupid. There's a massive lag time between being a confirmed case and being 'recovered' as it lasts 3-4 weeks.

People die far far quicker than they recover so 15% is an enormously misleading number.

Again of those tested.

There’s another “stat” doing the rounds that suggests up to 50% of our population has or has had it.

I don’t happen to believe that either mind.

It was only 2-3 weeks ago the number of expected dead in the U.K. was put at 250,000 or higher!

I am not scaremongering at all, just posting the hard cold facts. The death rate in China is 4%, almost all cases closed.

It is scaremongering.

You know very well how these “facts” are not representative of reality yet still put them up on here.

What else was the reason?

They are not misleading at all, they are actually clearly stating what each number represents. If its misleading its because people don't understand them.

I am merely posting the facts. I am not making any assumptions either.

Nope

Misleading unless qualified. No qualification so simple misleading.

And they are stats. Not facts.

You can put facts between quotes, but they are facts

I am specifically mentioning closed cases and posting links to the data. How is that misleading and scaremongering?!

Because there was no qualification on these “facts”.

Look if you don’t agree; fine. Leave it there but I’m not the only one suggesting that a post put up with these “facts” isn’t misleading.

Anyway, here we are again, who has the biggest diiiiiiiiiiick instead of reading the other stuff in the OP which was more about warning people.
