I am hoping that someone more knowledgeable than me can explain if it is because we are testing more that our cases are so high.

Many are asymptotic so without taking a test would carry on as normal, with the chance of infecting others?

Also cannot find any definitive data regarding false positives.

We’ll done Alegrias. I think you should go to the top of the class. I could never be bothered to do maths, I’m really lazy like that. No wonder I only got a grade 3 O level in maths, and I’ve forgotten most of what I ever learnt.

Anyway sadly it appears that our numbers are rather large, but at least dropping. Let’s hope that continues.
