Unfortunately we are reliant on our useless government to do that. Not sire which will be first. The prom finished or a proper vaccination program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the reason for that was that our largely closed border made measures used elsewhere unnecessary. And as soon as this lockdown works, and with tighter borders, we can get back to that until everyone is vaccinated. My understanding is that some of those pushing for a contact tracing app here wanted it as an alternative to such tight measures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not on a contract with them either. Or receiving anything from them. Jesus. Grow up. Previously I've also been accused here of working for Tescos and Manx Telecom. I don't work for them either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For clarity my agenda is twofold 1) To help avoid another lockdown if a cluster appears in the future. 2) To aid a progressive unlocking of travel as and when the situation elsewhere starts to permit. I can see it being helpful when- probably end of this year- we can start to facilitate visitors once more for hosted visits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, by the government she’s reached out to....and who aren’t interested in getting back to her/employing her (even for free, undoubtedly) because of their stubborn pride and inability to see other people have greater skill and expertise. Fair point in your first sentence. Can’t say I agree with the rest though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I would suggest it is the way the government has handled things, being open and transparent) I don’t think they have managed to “Fuck it up” I think they have done rather well considering. OK with hindsight a few decisions may have been different but that is true of every jurisdiction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
