Rishi Sunak is loving in it :laugh:

Yes.
People cannot criticise even this awful government about not putting some effective tracking and tracing in place.
Then not use it once it's there.

This may not be the best there could be but it's something.
So in my view, for me, it should be supported.

No, but purely because I’m living like a hermit right now because of my mum anyway

:clap1:

Is she in the at risk group if she is your doing a great thing by being safe

I don't want it, I've been working right through and we have had numerous employees getting positive results (also had a couple of deaths) yet we were told each time no one needed to isolate to continue working as normal etc

So I'm not isolating due to some random person testing positive that shopped in m&s the same day I did or similar

I'll continue to wear my mask/visor and take the precautions I've always taken

you only need to isolate if you have been in close proximity with someone within 2 days of when their symptoms started

:clap1:

It’s the fact that I can’t get a test...I don’t want to be imprisoned for weeks on end because I just happened to be in the vicinity on the rare occasion i do go out :shrug:

And another thing you can’t get a test with no symptoms so ..

Does it drain the battery in your phone faster?

But if you only go out on the rare occasion then a) you're very unlikely to come into contact with someone positive and b) isolating won't be that big a hardship surely?

This idea you'll continually be getting told to isolate isn't very likely, the chances of you having had prolonged contact with a positive covid case is still very low. I mean I must have given my details numerous times to different establishments since pubs and restaurants reopened and I'm yet to have a phone call :pipe2:

Haven't noticed it make a difference

.

People are happy to slag off the test and trace system but not willing to aid it it seems to me.

i heard it was about a 5% overhead and you can disengage the tracking too when you don't want it on

You can still self isolate though...

That doesn't sound bad.

I might use it to see if I get contacted.

Well it would because if you are told to stay home, that’s when you want to go out :laugh:

Also if I go out to a restaurant/bar I would give my details at any rate

Yeah got it today.

I have to scan in when I go for a tattoo in a couple of weeks I found out today so downloaded it ready before I forgot.

Yeah I have downloaded it.

the App in Germany works perfectly and very handy to see who the infected person has been in contact with, how they can isolate, quarantine a lot more efficiently

was on german show Extra last night

what i mean to say is, maybe this can be same in UK with the app, better tracing system leading to lesser cases, that you can quarantine the right people, rather than overlooking someone who might've been in contact with someone infected

Yes, we're known for our efficiency and great organisational skills in the UK. Famous for it. "Good old English efficiency!", they say.

if I thought there was any of that in the UK I would download it in a heartbeat, as it is ...no

if you think of UK as having a **** government and outbreak management team

look at our dutch hellhole of a government, RIVM and OMT :umm2:

i mean here they are too stuck up to not listen to america's Dr Fauci


and mentioning the ''norwegian research'' a million times (whatever that may be lol)
