Interesting what people will share. That piece makes several very obvious errors, but that hasn't seemed to stop those who dislike regulation from using it!

The piece assumes a population infection rate of 1%, even though the quote later clarifies that it is less than that. Also, can't just extrapolate from NSW to the rest of Aus, that's clearly wrong

Also, I'm no journalist, but I feel like reporting a fatality rate based off extremely vague figures is less than ideal

Oh, also, the latter half of the piece quotes a prof saying that up to 50% may be asymptomatic, but if 250k are infected then either we've missed most symptomatic infections or the asymptomatic rate is ~96%+
