There are thousands of test not returned , it was a con to add those to the numbers of tests done,we will never know the true number at the peak or nowThe ONS forecasts it by sending out thousands of tests to random households I believe, which has remained consistent. They estimate over 100k a day at the peak. The positive test figures can't be compared unless you start doing some fancy maths calculations and throw number of tests, number of positives, number of hospital admissions etc into the hat.
Odds of catching covid are currently 44 in a million per day, let that sink in.
ha that's some terribly crude global calculation. What are your odds of catching it in the UK?

That's based on about 2.9k catching it every day in the UK, which is probably an over estimation.

This doesn't make any sense at all. There are 66,000,000 people in the UK. If roughly 3k catch it a day, how can your adds be in 1 in 44 million? Are you taking the piss?!

I think you maybe having a maths fail there. 66m / 2900 = 1 in 22758k.
but not taking local clusers into considerarion there.
currently Bolton is 1 in 1800 or so.

44 people are catching it for every 1 million that exist in the UK. 44 X 66 = 2,904.
Think you imagined 1 in 44 million.
