    New study shows that in many countries, the estimated infection rates are generally less than 10%, often even 5%, a logical result of physical distancing measures, meaning that the risks of a rebound in new cases remain considerable.

    • I think that’s a flattened curve, knowing that eventually most or all people will get it. I dunno anymore.monospaced
    • it would be nice to see a link to this study... i'm fairly on top of things (i think i've read every such report) and haven't seen these figures.kingsteven
    • i only have a french candian link: https://www.lapresse…Bennn
    • wow, you have totally misrepresented this then. it's not a new study... it says that in absense of serology tests we need to assume 5% - 10%kingsteven
    • i wouldn't even be drawing any conclusions from the serology tests it uses as examples. most of them are too small/ not randomisedkingsteven
    • and wouldn't 5% of Canada be 2m, 2000 deaths would put the CFR at 0.1% - 10% puts the CFR at 0.05% (lower than seasonal flus)kingsteven
