• Now maybe yes, but in the first few months where they were only testing people that really thought they had it and were getting 1 in 45 positives (I just had a cursory look at mid-May)

    I don't think this is quite right. I really thought I had it, as did a lot of people I know, some of whom have subsequently tested positive for antibodies, but we couldn't get tested.

    IIRC to get tested you had to be NHS or in hospital.

  • I guess it should say "they were only testing people who they really thought had it". It still feels like a lot of negative tests for single positives.
