Annoymouse Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 12 minutes ago, Manx Yeller said: Interesting that they are saying 14% of tests are coming back positive. Total tests since the last update has gone up by 760, so 14% = 106 likely to be positive. Not sure how many are officially still waiting test results from those 760 tests but maybe that's what they are basing it on. But if that is the case, DA didn't explain it very well... (as usual) You might be onto something there, so perhaps Tynpot heard the projected figures rather than actual positive tests received?

Wonder if they are the one? a family member was tested earlier today and won't get the result till tonight so it must be them.

That's what happens when stupid people with no talent are given responsibility by cynical people with no backbone. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The daily figures haven't been published yet. The GOV feed says the numbers given at the briefing will be updated later today. It took them until 6pm yesterday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay so the schnapshot of 56 was from 3.25pm, does that mean the 56 were from this morning and the afternoon figures hadn’t been compiled yet? In which case why doesn’t Ashford just say he hasn’t had this afternoon figures back yet? Edited March 8, 2021 by Annoymouse 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashford said something to the effect that the numbers he gave were confirmed test results. Perhaps the missing 52 test are being frantically rerun in the vain hope they are false positives?

The tent was still open for business when I drove past at 3.30pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he must have had them back if he briefed government with a different, larger number before the plebs' briefing. He didn't actually deny the 108 number, he just said the additional tests weren't confirmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nellie Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I don't believe we have actually had Sundays figures,everything published yesterday referred to those numbers being from Saturday. Is what is to come today going to be 1 day or 2 days cases? Its an absolute shambles! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
