    There has been a total of 8,284,494 Covid tests.

    What is the percentage of those tests returned a positive result...

    Without looking.

    I am just curious to how people perceive the volume of cases based on what they have read etc.

    I imagine it’s under 1% currently?

    That’s still 40,000 cases.

    I work with a conspiracy theorist at work who says all the stats and figures are made up.

    I was off work for 4 1/2 weeks with covid but he suggests it was pneumonia.

    Plus many tests happening at schools... where most are symptom free.

    Which is a spit in the ocean given the number of tests.

    It includes all the school tests undertaken over the last week.

    Frankly I don’t care how many tests there are. 40,000 cases in a week is far too many and could extremely quickly get out of control.

    We’re at a point right now where there’s a very real chance things go back to complete normal in a few months time, but that’s only going to happen safely if things continue to move in the right direction.

    Cases are actually lower than this time last year.

    And going in the right way.

    The prevalence so far in schools is that low the LFT are producing more false positive returns than actual cases.

    Will cases not become irrelevant once the vaccine roll out is complete?

    Have you asked him/her why they are being made up? What is the purpose for making them and the pandemic up?

    Not really sure but it sort of makes sense. The problem is that we don't yet know whether the vaccines prevent significant transmission. We do know that they reduces illness and deaths.

    In that case I suggest you recommend him to go on a very long walk :)

    If they reduce illness and death then restrictions would no longer be proportional as response.
