While Icelandic authorities have been screening people considered especially at risk, namely those Icelanders returning to the country from high-risk areas, deCODE has sought to screen everyone else. deCODE took samples from 510 people on Friday, with 1,049 coming in yesterday and it is predicted that another thousand will go in for screening today. Of those samples which have thus far been taken, 700 have been tested. Kári says that about half of those who tested positive have shown no symptoms, and the other half show symptoms have having a regular cold.






TOILET PAPER PURCHASE [ON] OFF


UPDATE:
So let's extrapolate the demons.

The tests of general population Icelanders 1% show positive.

Iceland total population 364,620
1% of 364,620 = 3,646
When Iceland records its first death the CFR will be at least 1/3646
That is .027%

This does not fit the narrative.

Friendly reminder that we are destroying our economy over this.

It does though? We've known for a long time many carriers are asymptomatic which intrinsically makes it easier to spread.

No, it doesn't fit the narrative. If 1% of people in Iceland have it, what percentage of people in places like New York City, Seattle and SF have it. It is starting to look like there are many more infected than we think and that many show little or no symptoms at all.

I honestly find it a little ironic we are tanking the economy for a demographic this board almost 100% hates and the majority of the board is cool with it.

We will have herd immunity in short order once we are allowed to congregate again.

Not a boomer an X’er. If you’ve read my posts I think we’ve done a vast overreach. I just find it ironic the majority of the board are willing to bend over backwards and participate in the tanking of the economy for a group they they normally wish would just get out of the way.

We decided that keeping flow of patients to hospitals orderly and without crowding is better than wrecking our entire economy.

So basically the mortality rate and the rate of critical cases are much, much lower than is being portrayed. Can't have it both ways. If people are so asymptomatic that there are a large number of undiagnosed cases, it stands to reason that the mortality rate is probably well under 1% (it stands at about 1.7% with the current numbers much of which is attributed to a Washington nursing home).
