People have been asking me to debunk this thread "proving" that COVID-19 deaths are false positives by correlating things, but instead I thought I'd simply list a few things that are more well correlated than this https://twitter.com/ClareCraigPath/status/1317009608448290816 …

1/2 Right cheers, that what I thought she was saying. IMO that's a bit different to saying positives correlate with deaths therefore deaths are false positives - an increase in testing obviously would raise # false positives to some degree, so it's at least a sensical claim.

2/2 But of course I use the world sensical liberally, and if understand the implications of test positivity correctly, not very likely (again): https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-data-explorer?zoomToSelection=true&time=2020-03-01..latest&country=GBR~AUS®ion=World&positiveTestRate=true&interval=smoothed&perCapita=true&smoothing=7&pickerMetric=total_cases&pickerSort=desc …pic.twitter.com/0rpsNjQYmV
