So for me, the crayon fan, the long and short seems to be the numbers pushed out of our TVs and newspapers weren’t just a bit wrong. They were REALLY wrong!
At the time I instinctively knew it was a crock based in my very unscientific observations of acquaintances grabbing boxes of ‘free’ tests and testing like loons as though they wanted to be included in the positive figures. Some queer badge of honour. Can’t guess at the number of colleagues who’ve tested positive multiple times and been paid to be off work whilst Hubby in the whole 2 and a bit years had 3 day ‘sickness’ with cluster migraine, he got hauled in for sickness verbal warning! The world has gone mad John.
Yep, pretty wrong in the sense that they weren't telling the public what the public thought they were being told - they came clean in the small print that went with the figures but nobody bothered to check. Kids at my wife's school learned very quickly how to fake positive tests to get several days off!
