Come on people, people are doubting that I have never had my throat swabbed despite having six tests. Others in my house have had the same. I honestly didn’t know they did a throat swab. There must be other reading who have had the same? If it is relevant I had two sets of two tests after travel earlier this year. One hospital admission back in February and one August last year. Not a single throat swab 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s the point of all these covid passes and QR codes if the only checks are a brief visual inspection by checkin staff? I could have used photoshopped documents instead of going through all the hassle of getting a real test etc and nobody would have noticed. Here at Gatwick they were more concerned about someone bringing in too many cigarettes than the virus. It seems nonsensical. There has to be a certain element of trust placed on the individual that they are complying with the rules in place. It’s no different to asking people to do 10 days isolation here if they test positive. We really DO NOT want a police state though that appears to be what many are hankering for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want a police state either but this whole system is largely useless. It’s also a clear sign that if the virus was really as dangerous as they all say, they wouldn’t leave it to checkin staff to keep the world safe. The only place that scanned or checked anything on arrival was here right now, so it seems we’re ahead of others in this. Efficient, quick and friendly process. Nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is that relevant to if I had two off island trips (two tests each) and two hospital admissions (1 test each)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now he's moved to Treasury the same friend will have also managed to get themselves off benefits and become a millionaire three times over. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the press stopped reporting and we stopped testing then we wouldn’t even know there was a pandemic. give it up now Your attitude is reassuring. Thank you. I take it you work at Nobles, probably Ward 17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
