This would give us a running daily actual proportion of tests against positive results.

//It’s all there if you want to blind yourself with statistics// It’s those who are blind to those statistics whom the government depends upon for its message. Some people who are a little inquisitive may find it extremely odd that on the day that the “truly astonishing” infection figures of 77k were announced, there were also the highest number of tests...

Yes you still misunderstand the need for testing newjudge.
// I await the figures showing the number of tests undertaken which produced yesterday’s 87k cases. //

The data is available daily here.
https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/testing

There were 1,635,922 tests on Friday

Not sure why some posters find it too difficult to follow a link to get the information they require.


The figure for new cases yesterday was 93,045.
Double the number at the beginning of the month.
37 fewer deaths in the last week, falling for 8 weeks now. No of cases is largely irrelevant.
