It’s a nice theory. But nowhere does it suggest that a hypothetical poorly performing test would by itself create exponential, or near exponential, growth in a society that isn’t experiencing more positive cases of Covid-19.

Surely the same trends would be seen in Italy, Sweden, China, New Zealand or other cases with supposedly “low” prevalence of the virus. Yet they are not. Unless of course we are back at Britain being a special case for (insert reason unknown).
