Ok it’s what I would have posted myself and I don’t see how it’s different from what I said, that we have one of the highest testing rates per 1m of population. But I assume you have no data for your own assertion that we are tenth “as far as you know”. Seeing as you don’t seem to want to provide any further details (which may be of interest to readers here) I will leave it at that.
Slightly off topic. My wife is a Nurse & has worked face to face with patients both on wards & within A & E across the whole Covid thing.
A few of my wife’s colleagues have succumbed to covid, 2 young & fit colleagues even dying of it. But this current less serious Omicron variant is taking colleagues & nursing friends down like nothing else. One friend having two periods of self-isolation imposed on her within 2 weeks of each other.
One thing they are seeing among each other, is Omicron is not being detected as easily as previous versions. The hospital uses 3 testing methods. Lamp, a formerly reliable & accurate testing method for asymptomatic people. PCR & lateral flow. Previously it has been well recorded that lateral flow tests are very unreliable when it comes to negative results, being as little as 30% accurate in some groups. But what they are seeing among colleagues, is lateral flow tests are showing people as positive where Lamp & PCR are showing negative.
The above is not evidence of anything, but is being seen as an interesting potential development.
Just to reiterate that I am pretty sure we do have one of the highest testing rates per 1m of population. I haven’t seen anything to dispute that fact. NB “one of the highest” isn’t the same as “the highest”!
Also to add that testing data isn’t static. It changes every day, so you need to look at a specific period when the most complete dataset was available. Ideally the most recent excluding holidays.
