Fubho, that "study" assumes that the number of people infected by the coronavirus is a LOT higher than the actual reported number.

This is why I don't like it when people use "scientific studies" to push a predetermined narrative. In this case, the study is nothing more than an academic exercise. It starts from the assumption that there are many, many more silent carriers of the coronavirus than we know about.

We can't conclude that the assumption is valid without further study, which could take a long time. But that won't stop armchair coronavirus "experts" on the Internet from drawing their own conclusions. And of course, we now have hundreds of millions of them.

P.S. - My rant against armchair experts using "scientific studies" also applies to those who believe in that climate changey thingy (cough cough Wharfie cough cough) ...
