Urmm I think your maths are a bit skewed. You can’t just take 30% of the 84,000 negatives and say they could be positive because an 30% error rate. This is due to the fact that a lot of people taking the test are not infected no matter what the test says.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
So It all depends on how many of the 84,000 are expected to be positive in the first place.
For example using an example of 1 in 10 taking the test are positive and 30% being missed by the test then you only miss 3 out of every 100.
So for yesterday that would end up with about 2,500 being a false negative.

She must be waking every morning and looking at what's getting reported, and feeling like going back to bed.
The STV tweet last night, basically advertising the far right group who want to party in the parks of Scotland on Saturday is well over the top, but not unusual in Scotland.
HC1 care group must be crapping it, as they'll be hauled over the coals when this all finishes.

As you say, she's a politician not an epidemiologist and it must be draining focusing her entire attention day-in day-out on something so far removed from politics. She should delegate a bit more often. I think there have only been a few days when she's done so.

to be fair, she snapped at the guy before he'd even asked his question, she got quite short (tempered) with him when he was asking if he could be heard

She got hacked off a bit with, Andy Nicoll, from the Sun, when he tried to generate a headline about Jason Leitch. The Sun, playing politics...Never.

Truth is we do not know the people on the commute and as anywhere I am not happy if somebody is encroaching ignorantly into well under my 2m gap texting or chatting on a phone even if they are out getting messages for folk i will never know that.
With every place the reopens the distancing starts to become more difficult as they cant re open if staff cant get there.Last edited by Captain Trips; 14-05-2020 at 03:32 PM.

I don't think it's too tricky to follow the measures as they currently stand, you pick the one that applies to you based on where you live and follow them.Mon the Hibs.

Sorry but you still can’t get to 25,000 more positives from only 3,500 actual positives unless the test is as good as useless. Or you have 1 in 3 who are presenting are actually infected and your test is only about 10% accurate. Neither of those two scenarios are remotely likely.
As for the 95% inaccuracy figure from Dr Katz...well who knows but that would suggest the test they did was useless or they didn’t process them correctly. Did he clarify what the result was when they re-tested the patients correctly?

I'm not sure that Katz's patients were re-tested at all. He was in a department mainly concerned with keeping them alive, and the clinicians already knew what they were treating.
