I had a PCR test at the Express Test place at Edinburgh airport for a flight last week. They said I was guaranteed the results by 10pm the following day, but I received my results in just 4 hours.

craigkillie Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Yep when they quoted a figure last week of 3% it was actually 2.8%. Needless to say the figure yesterday (I think though it may have been last week) was given as 5.2% rather than 5. Happy to round up to the nearest whole number % but not to round down it would seem. Is the discrepancy between these numbers perhaps down to the case numbers being the number of "new cases". Anyone who takes a follow-up test and is still positive would be included in the test positivity but not the number of new cases. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doom mongers Yeah let’s not listen to the experts. That makes sense. The early exposé of the government failure to take the findings of Operation Cygnus seriously shouldn’t be forgotten. If we’d listened to the experts then we’d probably be in a better place now. -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsforlife Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Personally level 0 would be a huge step forward for me in getting back to early 2020 life. Probably the biggest step within the levels. Obviously I want all restrictions gone, But moving to 0 would be great, and with any sense we’ll have huge parts of the country in it next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure they were also shouting about people being locked inside their houses. They can't have been the most secure of locks if they all managed to make the protest. They are a bunch of lunatics who make it easy to brush aside criticism of restrictions. As has been the case for months, people seem to have splintered off into their extreme groups with very little left in the middle for nuanced debate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I'm not normally one of those "obsessed by the stats" guys but my brief perusal of them seems to show that the number of cases is plateauing at between 7-8 thousand cases a day and deaths at around 10 per day, I feel the governments should have held their nerves and followed their initial plan to open up - and I say this from pox-ridden South Ayrshire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
