High incidence of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection, Chongqing, China
Some interesting discussion. It may be possible that we've been severely underestimating the true number of infections. If this is the case, then the fatality rate would also be greatly overstated.
Some people are speculating that perhaps China didn't really contain the virus after all, and that they instead achieved herd immunity... Seems far-fetched to me. In my opinion, the biggest thing that debunks this is the fact that the rate of infection dropped as soon China implemented the lockdown (as per
this analysis).
Thoughts?
