Gladys Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Anyone got any tips to download the app? Not available in my country, tried to download it via Tesco's WiFi today and the same result. Am I the only one as no one else seems to have reported the same? Absolutely bonkers, may give 111 a ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely bonkers, may give 111 a ring. Try 4g. Turn your wifi off. Try Macdonald's maybe. It's strange. Mine installed fine but it was a few weeks ago. A VPN would work but is extreme. If you dont have one you might be able to get a free one on play store if android. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've contacted 111 previously (I've posted this previously) who advised that it's available to Apple users but not Android and 111 are aware of the problem and "they're working on it". I've managed to obtain my NHS QR code certificates now though 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just mad that there are some apps "not available on my country". Aren't we part of the worldwide, digital community? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 18 hours ago, Roger Mexico said: This is nonsense. Earlier on Teapot remarked how little people (and indeed governments) seem to have learned from the crisis and one of the earliest things that was constantly explained was about 'flattening the curve'. I mean, some of the things that should have been learned are that attempting to control infection waves is really really hard and that to have much of an impact your measures have to be really severe and even then they probably won't work. Suppressing pre-vaccine sure, but it was tough, with big long lasting consequences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without listening to the podcast it is really easy to answer the title. Millions were diagnosed with an infection but didn't develop the disease so obviously the answer is yes. Again though, in the wealthy west there are an awful lot of old and unwell people, and prevaccination there wasn't a whole lot of choice. Mass testing and isolating infected people had to be done, regardless of whether they were ill. Again though vaccines work and everything has changed. If you want to get irritated by people who refuse to learn anything, think covid is still as bad as it was in 2020, and demand everyone have to wear 'their' comfort blankets have a read of Hoopermans manx care staffing issues thread on twitter. Unbelievably thick stuff on there. These people think BARE FACES ARE MURDER EDIT - That podcast is based on stuff from Collateral Global, which means that it should be treated with caution by anyone listening to it, or reading the Mail article it came from.

TheTeapot Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I had kind of stopped with the covid stuff, and probably should stop completely but these fuckheads are spreading bullshit. They're worse than the anti-vax lot. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the article is about anticipated de-escalation/reduction of green pass restrictions between 1st April and 1st May. With a view to pensioning them off or putting them in the attic. Anticipated total removal for bars and restaurants. Discussion of basic green passes for work, or RAT/LFT every two days for the unvaccinated. Its a step down. Not introduction of new measures. Thats like Austria, and Bulgaria, and Spain, that I know of. They're still concerned about 600,000 over 50’s in work who’ve not had any vaccine at all. Their details are being given to the revenue, who will deduct €100 each from payroll as a fine. That provision has been in since autumn 2021, last reviewed mid February. It looks like a tidy up as restrictions are being brought to an end. Paul’s started looking at coming back from Bulgaria at end of March. Going out 6 weeks ago he needed PCR to enter France and Italy and RAT/LFT to enter Greece. If he returns end March it’ll just be a form to enter IoM and an LFT within 12 hours.
