Anna@annecavicchi very few people haven’t had Covid by this stage. It’s more likely they don’t know they’ve had it.
Mal 甄/kalessin/Peri@halcionandon @annecavicchi it's not accurate to say this. Some have natural immunity, some are either intentionally or unintentionally less exposed. It's hard to know and some public health policies are making it harder to be certain. But it's probably around 20% to 50% who haven't had it, globally. It is terrifying though.
Not even close. More like 10%. And Australia was in lockdown for 2 years.
@halcionandon @annecavicchi Weird to come for me a month later.
"Globally, as of 5:35pm CET, 10 February 2023, there have been 755,385,709 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 6,833,388 deaths, reported to WHO. As of 31 January 2023, a total of 13,168,935,724 vaccine doses have been administered."
Note: some stats are not available, so the global statistics are incomplete, and probably represent a minimum. But global population was supposed to exceed 8 billion by 2022 November so SBS's stats don't make a lot of sense.
Also note: I also haven't had COVID, and I've been immune deficient since 3/2021 (leukemia and stem cell transplant). And I've also been carefully monit on red so odds are low that I've had it and not known about it.
It hasn't been that difficult. Physical isolation, good ventilation, consistent mask wearing, and regular testing, with a sort of general infection control mindset.
@halcionandon @annecavicchi particularly focusing on Australia, population is around 25,000,000, reported cases 11,000,000 per CNN (couldn't find Australian stats on WHO via a mobile device).
Australia looks particularly hard hit at around 40% to 50% but not 90%.
@perigee @annecavicchi
I’m not coming for anyone I was showing stats our own news in Australia has provided, I’ve been very sick the past month.
You think CNN is more accurate on Australia than an Australian news outlet and local study? I live here, we aren’t particularly hard hit.
Stats are not accurate anymore because they aren’t being reported in most countries. John Hopkins will stop reporting soon. They’re wishing #Covid away.
I won’t bother, believe what you want. I don’t sit around chomping at the bit to “come for” people.
