Excellent point, I rest my case. Also, I have dementia, just like that Guiness bloke Ernest Saunders. I don't remember anything. ps - I didn't really like dogless's post, I just thought the miserable git needed cheering up. How do you remember to change the oil so often? Is it written? It's probably on his spreadshit. |

Latest news over 60,000 positive for Covid in one day. It says 1 in 50 households. That's 2% (am I right, bodgy?). That means 3 million tests in one day. please show your workings. 3/10 for effort. |

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. I suspect its the same panicky people being tested over and over again |

please show your workings. 3/10 for effort. 3,000,000 ÷ 50 = 60,000. 60,000 is 2% of 3,000,000. The news says "one in fifty are positive". One in fifty is two percent. I do hope you weren't a quantity surveyor in the Middle East. To find 60,000 positive you gotta have 3,000,000 run through your fingers. I very much doubt 3,000,000 people in the UK are being tested every day. And that would mean 2,940,000 NOT positive. No news about that, huh? you said "It says 1 in 50 households."
please be consistent and review your calculations.
I gave you 3/10 for effort but that must be reduced to 2/10 for lack of comprehension.

Rishi Sunak's wife is a billionaire. Is she buying laptops for poor families? err ................... lack of comprehension AGAIN.
she is the daughter of a billionaire and her personal worth is £430million.
go to the back of the class and stand in the corner until you are ready to concentrate on lessons.

you said "It says 1 in 50 households." Nope - it said London at 2%. The highest in the country. your quotation, not mine and not made up by me, verbatim as follows:
Latest news over 60,000 positive for Covid in one day. It says 1 in 50 households. That's 2% (am I right, bodgy?).
That means 3 million tests in one day.
I mean. Really?
Then it says:
"A further 830 people have also died within 28 days of a positive test."
Died of what? Corona? Boredom? Food poisoning?
Absolute bollocks the lot of it.
a lack of rigour, consistency, comprehension and credibility.
lack of credibility as a result of blatant lying and denial lying reduces your interim assessment to 1/10.

Are these private business that are testing staff included in the data? Looks like amazon built their own labs etc.
I know football clubs do mass testing but can only presume they do it privately.
