PS Due to the war in Ukraine, KTG cannot currently post the lengthy Coronavirus bulletins on daily basis as it has done since February 2020.
However, you will be always informed in changes regarding Covid-restrictions and updated Covid-maps.
So in 1 (one) day (Tuesday) the Positivity PCR+RAPID: dropped to 5.93% , from 21.21% (Monday)?
I am not a mathematician but the probability of this is perhaps negligible ? I therefore question the veracity of these figures!
higher positivity when fewer tests. logic.
Thanks KTG, i maybe am having a touch of brain fog! I still do not understand; I understand the figures are daily reported.
March 14, 107,000 tests, 22,694 cases
March 15, 447,000 tests, 26,536 cases
Still confused, but as mentioned i am no mathematician. There isn’t a trend here but more like a cliff edge. With a >third of a million more tests on March 15 I would have expected different figures.
Of course. All people that are not jabbed and that are in contact with customers need to be tested twice a weak I think (hotels, bars, restaurants, shops, …). So it’s normal that on Mondays there are much more tests than on Sundays. And as all those people are healthy, there are probably not so much (false :-)) positive results, leading to a much lower positivity rate.
