“Oxford study crashes”

I watched vid. Was wondering about the point he raised, too, that if Oxford is right, then we should see more positives on the tests we are currently doing.

Maybe they are a little right, that would be good.

How are we supposed to get our populace to agree on measures when we have Oxford and Imperial College saying two completely different things? Makes it difficult.

The Oxford study was destroyed on the vid.

To recap:

—UK is only testing folks in the national health care system hospitals who have CV symptoms.
—That means the percentage positive rate will be much higher, much higher than the general population.
—UK is only reporting 8,077 positives.
—UK has 127,225 hospital beds (ref: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/nov/25/hospital-beds-at-record-low-in-england-as-nhs-struggles-with-demand)
—That is a positive rate of 6.4%.
—Therefore we _know_ (100% certainty, _know_) that _much_ less than 6.4% of the UK folks are positive.

Game, set, match.

I’ve learned from studying diabetes and the Keto Diet that people who produce studies are almost always either answering to someone with an agenda attention seekers. That simple.

He nailed it on Oxford - at most 10% of the people they are testing in the UK have it, and those they are testing are the 1% of the population (actually less) most likely to have it in the first place.
