Yes. That's how it works. Unless you want to believe something that doesn't fit the factual narrative.Right but that's not how it works is it... Every day there will be different numbers of false positives because you have different lab technicians, swabs taken etc.. That day every positive could have been false or not false.
I'm not for a second saying that there aren't 'actual positive' cases and I'm not actually in agreement with Yeadons' assertion that the pandemic is over, although that comes down to semantics. I'm just saying it's something that should be discussed in a controlled setting by people like Yeadon and Vallance so that we can actually try to ascertain the validity of each position. Let's face it, it wouldn't take much for BBC to set these 'debates' up would it? And I don't mean presidential style I mean people talking to get to some conclusions, evidence and opinion on the table.
Latest note from ONS infection survey.
"Under a scenario where test sensitivity is between 85% and 95%, and test specificity is between 99.5% and 100%"
The concern is the huge number of false negatives.
