This coronavirus in China
|
anyone else worried? 9 dead so far.
CNY soon so the virus will spread very quickly if they cannot control it. It'll be in Europe by the end of CNY if not earlier.
is this the end of humanity?

How is pointing out a fact ad hominem?
It was merely a self described trait.
If I was doing Ad Hominem I would have said you know nothing Radio BBC sounds wanker who knows nothing without pointing out the source of the new WHO advice.

What rois said is bang on. It is all about prevalence and the concept is not difficult to understand at all.

This was all covered in More or Less on Radio 4 months ago. I suggest that you pop over to BBC Sounds and have a listen. Your brother on law should probably do the same; It has actual epidemiologists and statisticians.

Sure. But makes a mockery of yet more of the narrative. We are generally on the same page Rios.

You are over-simplifying the latest advice from WHO.
I'm sure if you scroll back far enough, near the start of this thread, I stated that the PCR test could only be deemed useful when taking into account the prevalence of the disease. At the moment, prevalence is high, so a positive test is more likely to be correct than it was in say, June or July.
I also said what I had herd from PHE, that the False positive rate at the time was very high, anything between 2.7 and 4.0%, which coupled with a low prevalence could have led to 90 out of a 100 positive results being false. The only way to confirm was to carry out a further test, if negative then a third test should be carried out, this would bring the FPR down to around 0.1% (a basic study in probability and statistics would confirm).
When the outbreak started I was working at PHE and met with their directors many times.

I have a place in Lisbon too.
Anyway, back to Covid....
PCR positive is no longer = Covid. You are not Covid now unless you get a second test to confirm it, and are presenting clinical symptoms. We shall see what the net impact of this indeed is.

IOW is more northern nearly dead coach parties than SAGA. That plus the whole foodie, boaty, Chelsea on sea lot. It certainly is a funny place but the best place to have a second home next to the sea with a Cornwall like coastline within 3 hours from London. Great food, great outdoors life. No suburban stay at home cunts.

I think there's a large group of people in the UK who are essentially boring cunts who back this new normal as its their old normal. They want everyone else to have a boring cunt life like they have.
