So those billons wasted on PPE that does not meet requirements or a broken testing and trace system needs to be paid for - what better way than to get the Police to issue fines of £1k.

So we need to cover £12bn for the Waste of Space and another £10bn for PPE so £22bn - that's 22m fines.

The Police need to start cracking on. Hancock is itching to offer more no bid contracts.

The tip of the iceberg...

It won't be long before we need 'health passports' to go about our everyday lives...

'Papiere bitte'!

It’s people told to isolate not users of the app as reported by some. It will encourage people not to answer 0300 numbers. But I can see the logic as some people aren’t isolating when told to. I doubt plod will do anything as they don’t have time to deal with burglaries or shop lifters.
 
Not if Plod are incentivised like in the US.

We are taking all the worst parts of the US - utter shambolic.

"The app has been built so that not only is all the data it collects anonymised, but it also only exists on individual handsets."

If that is indeed the case, then they could have bought a tested and working 'off the shelf' app many months ago instead of spending a fortune on a 'world beating' one which still isn't effective.
 
i don't see a problem with the app, i use it regularly when out and about, checking into places etc.

i don't have anything to hide, and i don't intend to flout the rules if i contracted covid or even just "suspected of having" due to me not being an absolute c ock womble and would like to not spread the virus.

those that knowingly have the virus and flout the rules are idiots.
 
Since from Friday on lock down again, what is the point? Due to cancer we are self isolating, so can't go out to buy supplies, we were told at start how long we needed to self isolate for, so would not catch colds etc, so we stocked up, since treatment in England and live in Wales we are not on venerable list, so getting deliveries is hard, extending isolation is simply not on, how can we prepare for it, 12 weeks is long enough, without extra.

It is clear what the problem is, since schools re-opened the virus has spread, so close schools, easy.

Schools and particularly universities it seems. I downloaded the app for ios and I must say I'm not much impressed with it, it's not even clear whether it needs to be running to work, running in the background, or even turned off. I do usually turn it on when I go out, I went to a pub restaurant last Wednesday and tried to use the scan a QR code in the app, but the place didn't seem to have one - just a QR to download their app to order drinks and a meal.

All very confused and confusing..
 
Oh if only I could go out for a drink, 18th March was when I locked down, until I think it was around 29th July, two weeks I could return to work for, then locked down again due to wife's cancer, now treatment over, but need to continue lock down for 6 weeks after last treatment, so 30th October at last I can start to go out again, well that's what I thought, now extended to 9th November due to national lock down.

So home brew rules KO. Hick.

I think we are all having to change our plans at almost no notice, life is not easy. I think I said before, I towed the caravan all the way to the NE intending to have a couple of weeks in it at the start of this, arrived only to be told we couldn't stay because all sites were suddenly closed that day. I did manage to rearrange it for August and actually managed it then. Car needed a new a/c condenser installed, plus some other work, so I made tentative arrangements to head to a specialist in north Wales, with the caravan, stay in that whilst the work was done - a bit of a holiday too. That was planned out for next week 26th, but the way things were going, I decided best to cancel the trip a month ago and had it done on my drive instead by a mobile a/c specialist.

MOT is due next month, I'm on the 18month covid extended one, but I'm wondering if those might be cancelled/extended again.
 
We just need to get on with life. Lockdown hasn't worked, we are on track for 25,000 new (recorded infections a day) by the end of the week and a 1000, deaths a week within 2. Avoiding unnecessary socialising, washing hands and keeping distance is about all we can do until there is a vaccine for those most at risk.
 
How can we get on with life if the NHS due to cuts can't operate both a full service and manage the pandemic.

If you want to carry on as normal then the Government needs to manage the pandemic better instead of blaming the public due to mixed messaging and improper contracts.

Are you saying that in Labours heyday the NHS would manage a pandemic and carry on as usual with routine operations as if nothing had changed? That's being a bit fanciful don't you think.
