Do you have a link to the 7% exposed?
First I have heard of that, although I did hear the 50% model had been debunked.
I do not. I picked that 7% up from another's freeper's post. And it may not be reliable. I just googled for 'UK coronavirus exposed' and didn't find anything like that.
It could have been an imaginary number from a flubro trying to make it look like more cases are benign than we thought.

7% is the positive test rate of those tested for COVID in most locations (New York seems to be higher). Most of those tested have some symptoms or risk factors based on usual testing protocols. What this means is that other flu like illnesses are still in circulation (I.e. flu, colds etc).
That is not the population exposure rate - we don’t know what that is. As widespread surveillance testing or antibody testing becomes available, we should get a better idea but that is still some weeks away
In WA, 7% of those tested have been positive. Seems pretty low for a virus that is supposed to be very contagious.
