80% of people who get it don't even have any symptoms.

Bull****.

78% actually. Of those tested, at least.

Still bull****.

quote

Only 22% of people testing positive for coronavirus reported having
symptoms on the day of their test, according to the Office for
National Statistics.

Pity about what happens after the day of the test.

Same as the days before the test; the asymptomatic postives may infect other people.
People who *may* then themselves get symptoms. Whether the testees later go on to
develop symptoms themselves is rather beside the point.

Like hell it is with the stupid claim he made.

Which is why as Captain Kinsey pointed out its important for people
to realise that just because they don't have any symptoms themselves
an any particular day they well may be carriers. 78% of them in fact.

It isnt 78% of them on other than the day of the test.

But it will be 78% of the new batch of people they test on the next day.

Assuming the test samples are representative of the population
as a whole then on any one day, 78% of people walking about
who are potential carriers, won't be showing any symptoms.
And won't have been aware of the fact until they'd been
tested



Your efforts at rubbishing such statistics

I rubbished nothing, I pointed out that its only true of the day of the test.

But its true of the next day - another 78% sympotmless positives, and the day
after that another 78% symptomless positives. All wandering about infecting
people *before* they were even tested. That's an awful lot of symptomless
carriers to have wandering about. And those are only the ones who *have*
been tested. That's the point.
