Eh?  How would I not be anonymous?

Do I take it you signed up with a identifying email address?  Schoolboy error if you did.  I used a random email never used anywhere else 

What a display of naivety.
It's 2021 not 2001. That there tabbing has come a long way.

hooper says isolate if contact traced which is now back in place, can’t see many doing that voluntary  , but like face masks

Er, no.  Considering how many people have lived with positive cases or sat next to them at work and not caught it, there is no way I am doing that.

He is more likely to stop people going for a PCR full stop than to get people isolating just because they have been contact traced.

So is he saying if you get an email saying you are a close contact you should isolate…literally no kids will be going to school as they are close contact emails every blinking week!!

People were speculating he was an absolute turnip of a Health Minister when he was appointed. It’s much better to leave it open to speculation rather than confirm people’s suspicions.

As much as it pains me to admit, Ramseyboi is right in that the data is useless to the man on the street. Unless you're operating in law enforcement, you're unlikely to join the dots of who people are. If you're suggesting that the IOMG knows immediately who all the posters are, that's ludicrous at best.

From March/April  the UK are planning to scrap the requirement to isolate if you test positive from Covid.

That's going to blow the tiny minds of the Doom Coven.

That’s how rumours start. The article says nothing like that. Doesn’t even suggest that.

Its you who is blowing the “tiny minds” of the “Doom Coven” by spreading falsehoods.

What does the article say? Well, it says that if you’re double vaxxed and are exposed to someone who tests positive you currently don’t need to isolate if you were vaxxed in UK. That’s been the position for several months. The government is thinking of extending that to people vaxxed outside UK. It’s a compatibility issue between UK covid passports/app/QR codes and EU ones.

Just like there’s another issue with UK/IoM ones that don’t indicate boosters ( or third jabs for the immunocompromised ) whereas in some countries where you have to show proof of vaccination to enter certain venues are requiring proof of booster if your second jab was more than 6 months old.

Here's another article.

Free Covid testing to be scrapped for everyone under 'Rampdown' plans

No more self-isolation for those testing positive when laws expire in March

 

I mean the scrapping you of free resting is going to send some into a tail-spin!

Reassuring to read the comments on that article. People in the UK have had enough and the government have picked this up and are dialling down the rhetoric to defuse the situation. The fact local councils are still recruiting for more Covid marshalls tells you it's not gone off the radar though, they just need to dial it down for a while.

COVID has been the local government petty bureaucrat nobodies wet dream.  They'll keep it going as long as their tin-foil hats stay in one piece.
