Both Tablighi Jamat and Non Tablighi Jamat in TN use same testing guidelines. TJ Positives 679, Non TN 59. TJ samples - 1630, Non TJ - 4121 (Pending not included) as of Yesterday Positive rate - TJ - 42%, Non TJ 1.4%. cc @IndradeepKhan https://twitter.com/jamewils/status/1248102048387620866
When the infection rate is so low, among the Non TJ high risk group, what is the logic this statistician @jamewils is arguing for more testing? Data doesnt point to spike in fever cases, or ICUs overflowing with people suffering from respiratory illnesses. @IndradeepKhan
All TJ contacts are tested because they are asymptomatic direct & high risk contacts of confirmed cases. This applies to everyone. ICMR Guidelines https://icmr.nic.in/sites/default/files/upload_documents/2020-03-20_covid19_test_v3.pdf
