One in 400 people in England have coronavirus, tests suggest
Health or care workers in those households were several times more likely to be infected than workers in other sectors.This figure suggests my personal chances of catching the virus are quite low at the moment.
It may not be surprising to the experts modelling the data - but to those whose expectations have probably been set by the grim succession of headlines about record numbers of deaths and ever increasing numbers of infections, it might feel surprisingly small.And this study tells us only about who has it right now - and so can pass it on.
This estimate of one in 400 people, outside of hospitals and care homes, means I'm unlikely to meet someone with the virus on a bus - but a Tube train probably has a few infected people if there is standing room only.Testing, contact tracing and isolation is currently our only tool other than social distancing to slow the spread of the virus.Imagine trying to trace the contacts of that many.
And, of course, while the survey suggests there are 150,000 infected people out there, it doesn't tell us who they are.a breakdown of specific pre-existing health conditions among those to have died with Covid-19It showed that more than one in four patients who died with Covid-19 in hospitals in England since 31 March had diabetes.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has previously said an antibody test could be a"game-changer" in efforts to control the spread of the virus.
