(Alors qu’il est rapporté que 50% des #SARS-Cov2 positifs sont asymptomatiques en #Islande)

Around half the people who tested positive in Iceland were asymptomatic. What percentage of them likely eventually developed symptoms? Also, did asymptomatic patients skew toward any one age group?

I think a very large percentage would have eventually developed symptoms. And within a few days, I will know exactly what that number is [#à_suivre]. They were evenly divided among the age groups.

D’après le médecin interrogé, vu le taux de décès, le taux de COVID-19 aux États-Unis doit être 10 fois supérieur au taux officiel,

And your experience in Iceland also shows the importance of using testing to track cases?

Yes. It has been so effective that currently the epidemic here is pretty much gone. We have had altogether 1,800 cases and we’ve had exactly 10 deaths.

What do those figures tell you about the situation in the U.S.?

If you put that in context with the United States, currently there have been about 1 million cases and around 60,000 people have died. But the population of the United States is exactly 1,000 bigger than ours. So if you have the same infection rate, you would have 1.8 million cases, not 1 million. If the death rate in America were to be the same as in Iceland, you would have had 10,000 deaths, not 60,000. So (given the actual number of deaths), my prediction is you don’t have 1 million infected, you have 10 million infected. Then the numbers add up.
