what does a non diagnostic machine mean?

She's saying that to be properly diagnosed with covid, you should have a medics opinion based on analysis of your history and symptoms, plus a positive test to be counted as a confirmed case, which in an ideal world would be better - however, we aint got anywhere near enough doctors, or the time to do this, and loads of folk are asymptomatic anyway, so how the hell are we supposed to find the asymptomatic folk in high risk jobs,  without testing?

The point, which she's totally missing, is that there's several inidcators showing that the infections are on the rise.

If there was no rise in hospitalisations, if the virus suddeny mutated to become weaker, if there was a believable study that proved massive amounts of the population alreay had immunity, if we developed treatment that massivey reduced the severity - they'd stop the restrictions ASAP.

Why would you show a positive result if you didn’t have it?

Genuine question as I know fuck all about the process. I assumed a positive test meant you had Covid-19, rather than a pretend version that gets tinfoil hatters all excited.

You're right peely. Plus its the method we've been using all the time, so we're still comparing apples with apples. And that tells us rates are rising.

You'd still be harbouring the virus, which the method looks for.

But the Belgians though. They can't even decide which language to use. Fuck off.

I don't know what the difference is between a confirmed case and a positive test result

so I googled it

https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/covid-19/surveillance/case-definition

now i might be wrong, but based on the below, a positive test result IS a confirmed case? just so I know, before I tweet that Hartley-Brewer back

 

Clinical criteria
Any person with at least one of the following symptoms [1]:

cough
fever
shortness of breath
sudden onset of anosmia, ageusia or dysgeusia

Diagnostic imaging criteria
Radiological evidence showing lesions compatible with COVID-19

Laboratory criteria
Detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid in a clinical specimen [2]

Epidemiological criteria
At least one of the following two epidemiological links:

close contact [3] with a confirmed COVID-19 case in the 14 days prior to onset of symptoms
having been a resident or a staff member, in the 14 days prior to onset of symptoms, in a residential institution for vulnerable people where ongoing COVID-19 transmission has been confirmed

Case classification

Possible case:
Any person meeting the clinical criteria

Probable case:
Any person meeting the clinical criteria with an epidemiological link
OR
Any person meeting the diagnostic criteria  

Confirmed case:
Any person meeting the laboratory criteria

There's always false positives. The tests have a degree of error 

The less % of people that test positive, the higher the % of false positives..

Say for example 1% of tests provide a false positive, and you test 1000 people , none of whom actually have it - you'd get 10 false positives - so basically all of your positives would be incorrect.

conversley if you test 1000 people and 500 of them had it you'd get 500 positives plus 5 false positives - so this time your false positives would be a low %

Used to give blood. Out of the blue they send me a letter saying I've tested positive for hep-c. 

They do the tests in triplicate after donation to allow for false positives. Two out of three positive apparently. Banned from giving anymore, called into a medical appointment with them, and had to have repeated tests at 6 monthly intervals to check.

Never tested positive again!

PCR isn't perfect, but it's not worthy of dismissal either.

Wondering if anyone can help me something please? I totally get that people will have differing opinions on how we should tackle the current situation. I also understand that some people will think that the current record number of daily cases might not compare fairly with the number of cases recorded earlier in the year when we were testing far less. What I can't get my head round is why an increasing number of people seem to be suggesting that this whole thing is made up. What would be the possible explanation for our Government making this up. Let alone all governments round the world? If you think it's made up, surely you also have to think there is a reason for making it up...?

wiggy- there was a case of a denier recently who had caught it (or it might have been his wife). He soon changed his mind and urged others to accept it as real.

have a look at the comments sections on here

or 

https://lockdownsceptics.org/

their reasoning ranges from Bill gates wanting to inject you with a micro chip, a cover up for a satanic paedophile ring run by Joe Biden, a Geroge Orwell 1984 style communist plot to take our liberties, down to a bit of incompetence by Boris.

What fucks me off with people like this stupid bitch is that they have no responsibility for the impact of publishing their views. All they are bothered about is starting rows. 

I am not saying no one can have a different view than me but whatever you think of Valance and Whitty it is hard to question their intent even if you do not agree with their tactics. They get pilloried for doing their job. 
These shock jocks sole purpose is to create arguments and division.

So considering our Rishi is throwing out tenners all over the gaff and the country will soon not have a pot to piss in, its safe to say that legalising and taxing weed is the way forward??
