Data from China published in the British Medical Journal showed that 80% of those testing positive for CV were asymptomatic. So yes, considering the ****-poor testing regime the UK has, you could estimate that the actual number of people infected in the UK is up to 5x the current number. Immunity is building up slowly, but there are still huge numbers of vulnerable people.

To Seeker's point, the Government's original aim was 'herd immunity', but that was based on the extremely flawed premise that a majority of UK citizens are healthy and would be able to get CV and have mild to moderate symptoms. But we're not healthy. 28% of UK adults are clinically obese, for a start. Then millions have long-term conditions like diabetes, COPD, severe asthma etc. These groups are extremely vulnerable to CV.

That's why the Government did the screeching u-turn from 'keep calm and carry on' to LOCKDOWN NOW in March. Testing needs to hit Hatt Mancock's goal of 100,000 per day so that CV hot-spots can be found and isolated, and to allow those that have had CV to return to work, while shielding those that haven't.
