Title: what is so magic about 5%?
Post by: President-Elect Bob Noel on May 23, 2020, 07:37:01 AM
Apparently the WHO (that bastion of complete trustworthiness) thinks that COVID-19 testing needs to reveal a 5% positive rate (or lower) before countries or locale should consider reopening.

What's so special about 5%?  Why not 1% or 10%?

(of course, anyone with even just a passing knowledge of math can figure out how to game the numbers)
