This is complete and utter nonsense. If cases are rising+accelerating, BY DEFINITION the disease has not reached a herd immunity threshold of any kind https://t.co/dJCj3MlFac

rising/accelerating? What if you minus false positives? U need to follow
@MichaelYeadon3 &@MLevitt_NP2013 who know what they are talking about. Reality is: a huge % aren't susceptible to the viurus due to T cell pre existing immunity from exposure to other coronaviruses5 replies 2 retweets 7 likes -
False positives are remarkably rare, you can demonstrate this mathematicallyhttps://gidmk.medium.com/most-positive-coronavirus-tests-are-true-positives-60c95fe54fec …

There's a fascinating question in how people have so completely misrepresented terms to the point where a very recent infection that could still be infectious has been defined a "false positive", but it is still factual to say that the overwhelming majority of positives are true

I'm not talking about a person previously infectious (even as long as 9 weeks ago like the Brit boys stuck in Florence demonstrated). That's a cycle threshold issue as well u know. I'm talking about a real scientific false positive which becomes more likely when prevalence is low

How do you explain extremely low Covid nos in high testing countries like Australia where prevalence is low.

Generally they ignore the fact that it completely undermines their argument

Still interested to know @NewMumOnline how you explain the figures in NSW which completely contradict your argument
