[Margaret Pilkington]

It is time they (the government, the scientists) started to come clean about the number of people who are ill....rather than the number of people who have had positive PCR tests.
A positive test means nothing in the absence of symptoms.
Currently it is implied that positive tests are ‘cases’.....many of these tests will be repeat tests on the same person(schools require a negative result before a child can return to school).
600 thousand children have been sent home from school since the new term started....only 10 thousand tested positive....and we are not told just how many of these children actually exhibited symptoms.

The other thing that I wonder is whether the amplification of these tests has been increased....or what the amplification of each test is.
The reason I would like to know is that the more a test is amplified the more likely it is to be positive.
This test is not specific to Covid....it will pick up and protein from previous virus infections....not necessarily Covid.
