Cases look like they’re starting to level off, however it could still be catching up from the bank holiday. Closing in on under 1,000 in hospital and admissions still lower than those getting let out.
 
Not saying it would be this many but how many false positives would you expect to see from 1,067,566 tests? 2,490 cases today, which is somewhere between 0.2-0.3% positivity rate by my quick calculation.

False positive is virtually zero isn’t it? For more likely to get a false negative.
 
35m with at least one vaccination, but now we are over 16.5 fully done, that is a quarter of the population fully done. One in every four people you could meet at random will be fully vaccinated. That is fantastic.

Its a difficult question to answer as false positive rate depends on the likelihood of a positive test prior to the test concerned

So if you just grab a random 1000 people off the street and test them the false positive rate is much higher than if you test 1000 people with Covid symptoms

So it depends who they are testing

As has been said many times - once we get very low case figures the important stats are admissions, ventilated patients and deaths

Even deaths can be skewed as if you got run over and went to hospital and had a Covid swab it will still get onto the daily government stats. When you have large numbers of deaths it would get lost but it may have an effect on the numbers we see now and I did read they were thinking of changing reporting to reflect this. (Covid wouldnt end up on the death certificate in this situation before any wibblers start getting a froth on with what I just said 😂 )
