The bear case being set at 40% of employee costs is still quite wild.

Sorry to hear about your aunt. My condolences. I think your misinterpreted my intent, I would dearly love a good diagnostic test for ME/CFS and agree research has been hugely underfunded.

I have followed closely the research for many years and there has been false promise of good diagnostic tests previously. What I'm arguing for is that we need a test that is specific for ME/CFS. E.g. it will test positive for a patient with ME/CFS regardless of they are obese or not, but more importantly it will not test positive for everyone who is obese. This is known as the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

What I've seen in the past is some previous ME/CFS tests show positive for groups with related symptoms but who don't have ME/CFS. This then becomes a worthless diagnostic tool. For example this would not have helped your aunt.

Hope this explains my thoughts!

I think I would need to see testing on a control group of housebound patients with other conditions to believe this. It's easy for ME testing to pick up markers for being housebound and limited exercise for an extended period of time.

That could work. 15 managers doing 10 1:1 meetings each isn't so hard. It can get tricky with people being on vacation etc. But very possible and normal.

Some of the west of Ireland accent also reflects pronunciation prior to the Great Vowel Shift. For example pronouncing "tea" as "tay" and "meat" as "mate"
