DC2 10,664 Posted April 8, 2021 1 in 500 might have Covid, but no idea how many might be infectious. “The research, commissioned by the government and run by Imperial College London, is based on swabs taken from 140,000 people selected to represent England's population. Of that group, who were tested for the virus between 11 and 30 March, 227 had a positive result, giving a rate of 0.2%, or one in 500 people. But in people over the age of 65, the infection rate was half that with one in 1,000 people testing positive for Covid.” BBC Share this post Link to post
DC2 10,664 Posted April 8, 2021 Re-opening schools did not cause cases to increase “Since the first substantial relaxation of lockdown in England with the opening of schools on 8 March 2021, the rate of decline of new cases has slowed considerably," the report said. Infections were most common in primary and early secondary school-aged children (five to 12-year-olds) and lowest in the over-65s, which the Imperial team said was "consistent with an effect from the vaccination rollout". He said it was "gratifying", however, that rates did not go up when schools reopened, which he said was "certainly a possibility". BBC Share this post Link to post
