Agreed (I think). The number of cases (positive tests) mean nothing on their own. We need not only to get a good idea of the false positive rate, the information about a rise in the number needs also to be given with info about the number of tests carried out (which does happen in LV). Most people in the UK, seem (I think) to have no idea we are now running at about 300,000/day. compared to about 20,000 a day in Spring (I think those numbers are correct).

The media over there is, on the whole, unremittingly doom-laden - which makes me suspicious.
