To selectively quote, you're right, I should have said total deaths. Arguably, even though antibody testing might be revealing higher numbers of infections, surely an unknown is the number of deaths that might have been prevented by potential asymptomatic spread due to the measures in place? I'm not an epidemiologist either.
Hope you didn't contract anything in the Holiday Inn!
