Given that the report the other day was 3000 children and teachers were a positive test using the self testing system, and that the new case figure across Greece yesterday was 1904 new cases.
Today’s figure,( which we know is always higher on a Tuesday because of more tests done.),of 3197, would suggest that the self testing is about as reliable as a handbrake on a canoe,
Or am I just imagining it.
Particularly in view of the false positives.
Unfortunately, it points to the manipulation of the numbers as if you added 3000 to the ‘normal’ 2000 ish then we should be seeing 5000 ish? but we are not ……….would they really risk lying for a green list place? If they were caught they would have to be red list all the way i guess.
Yes, but the close to 3000 negative subsequent PCRs helps keep the testing positivity rate down.
