these numbers are just that..cannot clarify if 'false positive'..they may well be false negatives which could offset any false positives. When u up the testing u r obv gonna get more positives My sis has had 3 tests as she gets symptoms but all negative..trouble is if u act in a responsible way u should not ignore symptoms
I've bin tested once because son had Covid..I tested -ve...I did have symptoms but unless false -ve I didn't have it.

In the 'News': 55,000 'positive' EVERY DAY recently. If London has the highest rate at "more than 2%", which could mean 2.1%, that means 2,750,000 people are being tested EVERY DAY. For 1% that would mean 5,500,000 are being tested EVERY DAY. This is hard to believe. Just who is carrying out 5 million tests per day? I also struggle with the figures being released. I don’t believe in the usual conspiracy theories doing the rounds, but something doesn’t add up. One thing that continues to strike me as odd is, what about those that have already had it? Must be millions by now. Must be something going on that we don’t know about, but I’ve no idea what it is.

I’m sure your cleverer than me, but I hear the scientific experts, and our government use the word’ could’ everyday.

jayne and I were tested on the 30th results back at 0600 on the 1st both negative. We could have been tested in a load of places but chose the closest, Jayne went online to do it at 1208 and we were test at 1240! This isnt Finland foxy it the UK we have the resources to do it, I have to say the people doing the test were short haired fit looking individuals dressed in civies that looked like soldiers the testing was well organised and I felt safe at all times, people were coming and going all the time

How many people are being tested every day to come up with 55,000 'positive' every day? And what happens to all these 55,000 'positive cases' every day? Are they forced to isolate? Or let out free to roam the supermarkets and garden centres. It really is quite incredible. For a fox of little brain, of course. Even on the gov web site they admit many of the tests are repeat tests. Especially footballers and other 'elite' sports people who probably get tested before every match.

I think though, that Ross is merely pointing out that the figures suggest maybe 5 million tests are processed per day? Is that really happening?

I read it's "uncomfortable". I think that's just to scare people, to make it an unpleasant experience. If spread by coughs, sneezing, talking and breathing, won't spitting onto something be good enough? you do it yourself using a mirror easy peasy and not a problem in the slightest

Anyway, 'negative' yesterday don't mean 'negative' today. You can also test positive for a few weeks after being infected. What's strange is that the gov stats show around 5% of those tested each week are positive. So 9 months later you'd think most of us must have had it by now and (hopefully) become immune.

You use what looks like a long cotton bud to rub against the back of your throat and up one nostril for 5 seconds ... that's it ... shaving's more uncomfortable or painful .
It takes seconds ... the whole process from arriving on site (a car park in my case ... I never left my car) to driving off was about 90 seconds.
Well organised and regulated and I received a text result in 33 hours.
