Stop listening to cunts on shite radio.

Somebody sent me the clip and there is an element of truth to it apparently.

If there's a 1% false positive rate, that means 10 people out of a sample of a 1000 will falsely test positive. If 0.1% of the population have coronavirus then that means 1 person out of that sample size will be a true positive.

There's a good article on it here that explains it better and explains the limitations of it.

That has nothing to do with the post that 99% of tests give a false positive.
That is bollocks.
 
I don’t suppose you have a reputable source for that?

Widely reported in the media.

However he's not involved in the commercial side, and it largely stems from deferred share options when president of GSK. It appears to be unimportant to me.
