Subject: RE: BS: New rules for the coming pandemic
I theorize it was all Steve's fault. Watch as this thread gets closed over his UKistic insistence the world live by his rules.

If you are anywhere on this planet your odds are broadly 40% to 80% that you will catch this special cold. If I got a flu test it would still be subject to a 30% false report average. I do not know the exact accuracy for a covid test, If a physician thinks there is a 50 percent chance of the patient having COVID-19, the test will be positive 85 percent of the time. Fifteen percent of the infected patients will incorrectly be diagnosed as not having the disease. If the patient does not have the disease, only 70 percent of the patients will have a negative test. It would take four consecutive negative tests to conclusively prove the patient did not have the disease.


btw I see nothing odd about having the sensation of a lung infection in one lung only.

With Casinos closed we will have to wager on our own that Nigel stays but Steve goes into the eternal yonder soon.
