"To all the fab experts and number cruchers. Do any of you know how many covid tests come back positive?" It depends how many people have it while tested but usually its more than infected as some give a false positive still. | |||

"This virus, the most deadly virus in our lifetime, is so dangerous you don’t even know you have it unless you have a test that comes back positive. And even then it might be a false positive so you might think you have it, but not have it. Every day they massage the figures, test one person in three separate ways and that counts as three tests, that’ll be counted as three new cases When you turn on the propaganda news channel that is the BBC. Wake up and look for the news, don’t just take for granted what they spoon feed you. " The reason its more deadly than a lot as some people don't show symptoms so it can spread without people noticing. Its not as deadly as many other viruses out there not by far but its the most widely spread virus in over 100 years. The worst thing though about it is the bullshit and false information some people spread while talking out of their arse without any real knowledge. And we all know a little knowledge is a dangerous tool in the hands of an undereducated fool. | |||

"So in the last 24 hours out of the 169,276 tests done,sent out etc (however they count it) 713 came back positive,but seeing as it's an easy thing to find out,I'm gathering there is more to your question.... "Interestingly the WHO sets a target of 97% specitivity on the pcr test which means that if not one person in the uk had covid and you test 169,276 people, the test could falsely report that about 5000 people had the virus. So you can see that even if the virus is eradicated, the government will still be reporting positive tests. Even if the test had a specitivity of 99.9% 169,276 tests would falsely report 169 positive results. | |||

"Here we go again. Mortality rate is something you calculate when a pandemic is over and you know how many people died out of a certain catchment area. Case Fatality Rate tells how many people who have tested positive have succumbed to the virus. The two are completely different since the former tells you more about how widely it has spread and the latter tells you how deadly it is." The case fatality rate doesn't tell you how deadly it is because it doesn't include the people who were asymptomatic and were not tested. The infection fatality rate tells you that. | |||

"So in the last 24 hours out of the 169,276 tests done,sent out etc (however they count it) 713 came back positive,but seeing as it's an easy thing to find out,I'm gathering there is more to your question....
Interestingly the WHO sets a target of 97% specitivity on the pcr test which means that if not one person in the uk had covid and you test 169,276 people, the test could falsely report that about 5000 people had the virus. So you can see that even if the virus is eradicated, the government will still be reporting positive tests. Even if the test had a specitivity of 99.9% 169,276 tests would falsely report 169 positive results."You’ll confuse people with pcr tests.  | |||

You’ll confuse people with pcr tests. "how so? Are you suggesting some people had multiple tests on the same day? | |||

I’m not medically trained by any means but I do know what a pcr test is and I don’t think the majority of people will have heard of it. | |||

What tests where New Zealand using for the 104 days when they had no positive results? "I'm sure that if they get a positive test they re-test the individual thereby squaring or cubing the specificity. In the uk we just get the basic stats. | |||

"To all the fab experts and number cruchers. Do any of you know how many covid tests come back positive?" That will be the number of new daily infections. For today : Scotland 26 NI 39 Wales 14 England 634 What I think you're actually looking for is the percentage of positive tests. It varies by country but for the UK as a whole 0.421% of tests carried out today (17th) were positive. | |||

"This virus, the most deadly virus in our lifetime, is so dangerous you don’t even know you have it unless you have a test that comes back positive. And even then it might be a false positive so you might think you have it, but not have it. Every day they massage the figures, test one person in three separate ways and that counts as three tests, that’ll be counted as three new cases When you turn on the propaganda news channel that is the BBC. Wake up and look for the news, don’t just take for granted what they spoon feed you. The reason its more deadly than a lot as some people don't show symptoms so it can spread without people noticing. Its not as deadly as many other viruses out there not by far but its the most widely spread virus in over 100 years. The worst thing though about it is the bullshit and false information some people spread while talking out of their arse without any real knowledge. And we all know a little knowledge is a dangerous tool in the hands of an undereducated fool. " This. ^ | |||

"To all the fab experts and number cruchers. Do any of you know how many covid tests come back positive? It depends how many people have it while tested but usually its more than infected as some give a false positive still. " And some give false negative. And lots of asymptomatic dont even get tested.....basically a guessing game! | |||
