No its just purely cos I can't bear the thought of self isolating for two weeks.

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

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

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

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

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

.

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

[DouglasS]

I’ve not downloaded it but my flatmate has COVID and I’m self isolating so right now it has no purpose to me

[Kizzy]

No, you could potentially be off work for months...Go to work come in contact with someone, isolate go back and the next day get another text... Hang on... Maybe I'm being a bit hasty

Would you rather stay in your workplace as normal when there's been a confirmed Covid case there?

Strange all I've heard about recently is how the government has failed in giving us a track and trace system but apparently people don't actually want one

its track and trace for others that's lacking

i work from home and am not out at the pub so it really isnt relevant to me, at least for the moment

Oh I want it...my boss probably won't.
Can you imagine, I work in the gatehouse of a busy distribution centre, around 400 vehicles a day pass through.
So say me and the other 2/3 guards who work there get a text.
How do the vehicles get booked on/ off site?

[joeysteele]

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

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

[Crimson Dynamo]

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

[LaLaLand]

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.

[Glenn.]

Yeah I have downloaded it.

[Nicky91]

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

[Nicky91]

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.
