U.K. Covid-19 July 2021

And Not all are Happy: -
Covid-19: 'For us it's not freedom day, is it?'

 

Today's Headlines:-

 

. . . . .
What could possibly go wrong?

 

Well, it seems, Not all are conviced ...

 

PM press conference on COVID 19 today:

 

Junior Vaccinations:
Covid: Hundreds of thousands of under-18s to get vaccine

Nightclubs conditions, albeit, not just yet
Covid: Two jabs needed to enter nightclubs from September

Isolation Rules: - Critical Workers
Covid: Isolation rules loosened for critical workers

 

I think this is going to be a watch and see situation



This is the key graph that the Government is clearly watching and not the number of new cases which will rocket numbers wise .

As long as the hospitalization stays within certain levels ,the Government is unlikely to change course.

 

Lifting Restrictions: Labours response
Covid: Lifting all restrictions at once is reckless, says Sir Keir Starmer

 

This pinging malarky that appears to be grabbing the headlines and grinding the country to a halt .

I am just wondering if I am missing something ?

1) I believe its not legally binding . Therefore can key workers not just ignore it ?

2) Just delete the App ?

Or is this just a too simplistic solution and the media just loving negative headlines.?

I dont have it on my phone

 

Those stupid bastards Boris Johnson & Rishi Sunak tried to do that - look what happened to them ???

 

I thought and I could be wrong that they were contacted by Test and Trace . Now that is legally binding .

 

Yes, but they did try to evade self-isolation, but the opprobrium surrounding what they were attempting was too much and they had to give in and concede to self-isolation.

 

Yep I was right

The app alert is advisory only and not enforceable by law, unlike a phone call from the Test and Trace team. Source BBC

So why all the hullabaloo ?

People need to use their discretion and get one of the lateral flow test kits and test . If negative carry on .

The country doesn't have to grind to a halt. Too many sheep in this country and not enough leaders. Bah Bah

 

Most people I know who were daft enough to have the G̶o̶v̶e̶r̶n̶m̶e̶n̶t̶ ̶v̶i̶r̶u̶s̶ app on their phones have now deleted it.

Mind you, I heard today that others are deliberately getting pinged, so that they can have a week off in the garden!
