Has anyone been able to figure out what the number of COVID deaths are in Chelsea specifically?
- contravariant 7y agoThe article claims 712 detected cases resulting in (at least) 39 deaths. Chelsea has a population of about 40k, this isn't mentioned in the article but matches the article's figure of around 1900 cases per 100,000. Assuming 30% of the population is infected this puts the current number of deaths at around 0.3% of the total infected. There is some bias due to the rate of false positives of the test and the lag in the number of deaths, so the actual fatality rate may well be higher, but the order of magnitude seems consistent with the numbers discussed in previous threads [1].
