Tdansmith 3242 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 When they say under level three, the virus is now considered to be "in general circulation" as previously it was "high or rising exponentially" how can they know this for sure without everyone having a test ? Are they just guessing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s just those who died having tested positive. Even the ONS figures are significantly higher. That takes into account those where COVID is mentioned on the death certificate. The excess deaths, ie the figure above the expected deaths is quite a lot higher again at over 63,000. Not trying to have a go at you, I just think the more people talking about those utterly shameful figures the better. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they just guessing ? Not guessing. There are ongoing ONS antigen surveys which gives rise to R and prevalence estimates. Theres an algorithm these values are fed into to establish the national risk level, although I don't think that was published (it should be). I think this is entirely the correct way to proceed. The problem is in the last few weeks the politicians have vetoed the scientists and de facto reduced the alert level anyway, when the sums didn't add up.That is extremely dangerous. Will they reverse the level if R and prevalence increases? I very much doubt it. Make no mistake, Johnson's handling of the situation is fucking appalling , as international comparisons testify. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
