How many people in the uk have recovered

I do wonder if lack of testing is skewing results like this? We might have had a load more cases that we don't know about
 
About 20% of those admitted to hospitals in the UK have died. Most of the 80% are still presumably still in hospital with so few released.

That's pretty much consistent with the worldwide figures on the 'Worldometers.info' website.

Re' overall death % - I guess the thing is (in every country) that no one knows the exact number of unreported cases.
 
About half of people testing positive are sent home and not hospitalised. Of 25000 infections (all tested in hospital), about 12000 have been hospitalised. Of these 2300 have died. (These figures from daily update).

We won't find that out to till mass testing for antibodies has taken place.

This 135 figure is false, there was an asterisk on it on the public health website saying it had not been updated for a while, and now it's removed completely. Just like the worldometer says only 163 critical and 99% mild condition, again all incorrect.
 
The government just haven't a clue, that's the top and bottom of it. They can't organise PPE, they can't organise tests, they're incapable of establishing a quarantine policy for those returning from abroad.

Dianne Abbott would have produced more accurate numbers.
 
No one has a clue. Millions could have had the virus already and not realised. The first people in the UK to have the virus weren't even recognised as victims until the news about that Austrian ski resort became public. That family alone must have infected loads of people before they isolated.

South Korea says 20% have no symptoms. But that's only among those they traced. The virus can live on surfaces for days, so many more could have contracted the virus through community spread, and unless they had severe symptoms you'd never know. In the UK only the really sick are tested, so that probably means the number of cases reported is at most 20% or less of the total.

Who are the really sick? Half of people tested positive are sent home.

South Korea said that 20% of those asymptomatic who were tested positive did not subsequently get systems during hospitalisation. The vast majority of tests were negative (well over 95%). These were mainly testing of traced contacts.
