Have you read that 90% of COVID-19 tests are false positives? Turns out, that's total nonsense. False positives are very rare, most positives are just that: positivehttps://medium.com/@gidmk/most-positive-coronavirus-tests-are-true-positives-60c95fe54fec …

If this doctor is saying that the specificity of "community grade" tests is 95%, they are presumably referring to a different kind of test than the ones used by the ONS, which was of course the same national testing scheme as pillar I/II

Over August, only about 0.5% of Pillar II tests were positive so I'm not sure 5% is possible there either, unless it's got much worse very recently.
