Roger Mexico Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 1 hour ago, madmanxpilot said: It is possible that they were in day 1,7 or 13 tests - if three people tested positive on day one fourteen days ago, they will have dropped off the active cases list today to be replaced by the three new positives - in effect cancelling each other out. The government figures issued (on Twitter) fourteen days ago did show three new cases - I don't know if they were day one isolation or not. Totally agree that we should be told exactly what type of new case we have to save all this detective work! No because the active cases went from 27 yesterday to 30 today which matches with the number of new cases of 3. So there can't be any that have 'dropped off'. Which of course gives rise to the question: where (and when) did the 3 of 30 December go? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds an ideal opportunity for the spread of the virus. But, a good business opportunity for holiday cottage owners. Depends which is more important.

There are teams checking that those in isolation are staying inside, they may be a bit pushed checking the probably several hundred now isolating but my friends were visited last week.

Newbie Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 39 minutes ago, Gladys said: Yes, but Dr Glover has explained that her process makes sure that the right genetic material is tested and reduces the false negatives. The capacity of the lab may not be an issue now, but surely we are going to have to ramp up testing as we trace and (should?) take second tests to verify a negative? The comment was in relation to Amazon. According to her, they asked her to set up PCR testing which is what she set up on the IoM, not genomic testing (which her company can also do). She didn't suggest that the PCR testing she was asked to set up for Amazon was somehow better than the PCR testing she helped set up here.

The test they were using on island was a creation of Taxagenomics and using their proprietary methods to test for human RNA to validate the swab. Commercial tests, like the one the IOM will now be using don’t test for that, giving a higher chance of a false negative. There’s some discussion in this thread of it. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
