Where Are The Figures For Covid Infection Rates Coming From?

[dave50]

When people are testing themselves at home with the lateral flow tests are they then submitting the results to the authorities, if so why? If you feel the need to isolate after the test then do it but why make the public paranoia worse by telling the whole world? There's no need, you are doing the right thing by isolating, that should be the end of it. The only figures that should matter and be made public are hospitalisations and deaths, end of. Also, I don't recall everyone running around like headless chickens when flu deaths were ruining in the tens of thousands.

//The fact that I tested negative last Friday, and on Tuesday of this week, is no indicator that I'll test negative when I take another lateral flow test this evening.//

I can understand that you may need to be tested regularly because of your medical history, Chris. But for those people not in that position, what is the point?

judges translation

They suddenly found in testing normals for coivd that there was a run in time when you werent ill BUT could and did spread it the virus to other people and endanger them

you will note a judges translation just means shaking the little fellow awake and saying the same thing but shouting

er first described in 1680 wivva nother disease
so as a concept, well people still being infectious tho well,
is quite new

Judge your missing the obvious. Over 300000 new infections recorded each week. All 300000 could of been negative a week ago . People go from clear to infected that's because it spreads. Simple. We can't say I was negative once so didnt test again so please let me onto your country/plane or into your care home.

or to sum up !! pun intended

one negative test doesnt mean negative for ever

( yeah point made many times - but clearly needs repetition)
