Aimed at the people who, I imagine, go to 1886. ( Based on professional experience ) How many of such people do you think would observe that sensible advice John? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will provide an excellent diary and aide memoire of where you have been. And in some cases are excellent evidence where you weren't, doing the things they say you did, and with whom.....😇 Sorry, did I just say that out loud.? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 8 minutes ago, John Wright said: The public advice is simple... If you work in a public facing or service role, and have been to those locations on those dates and times, tell your boss... And hopefully, those who've been in those locations can be relied upon to be honest enough to advise those with whom they've had contact with since. Can we be assured that people are sensible and will be straight up about their movements? As other posters have indicated, the advice has been imprecise and subject to change. A relative of mine, whose son had been in one of those locations was told by 111 that only if he displayed any symptoms should he seek to be tested. She was worried and after a second call she was advised to arrange a test for him but nothing said about whether he or the immediate family should isolate until the results were known.

Nomadic Raptor Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 It’s all very fishy I have a friend who’s family are isolating following being in close proximity they were told the results of there test would have been 7pm last night or 10am this morning...it’s currently 11.30. If they can’t keep to what they say they need to update people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horatiotheturd Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Nursing homes now voluntarily stopping visits until proper guidance from government received. The lack of clear direction over something that should have been planned for months ago is astounding 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, and were the decision-making up to people like you I suspect health services would be in complete disarray. "Quilt and Pingu" - a search of those terms is a dead giveaway of the two posters using them...😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the Facebook comments it appears a lot of people will be having a test, depending on the results of those tests will determine a lot of what happens next. You’d like to think people would be careful and keep close contact to a minimum but it’s like every time it’s a cold winter night , people complain there is ice on the roads and take absolutely no responsibility for their own actions, it’s immediately the DOI/Gritters at fault. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 12 minutes ago, horatiotheturd said: You are correct, thats largely the sort of statement and advice they should have had ready to go months ago, along with guidance in where to get masks from for those who don't have them A press brief conference or statement yesterday would have been welcome with the opportunity to reiterate /and reemphasis the current guidance, and also maybe question some of the actions taken (isn't that c called accountability?) This smacks of the Government saying there is the advice, now do what you will with it, and the consequences are yours, and yours alone. Good communications are part of good leadership. This is not the greatest example of either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original advice was only to isolate if you have symptoms so it’s good to hear they have had a test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no requirement or official advice to give any information on movement or stay in its John’s suggestions By the way busy in town with most cafes etc open and no sign of mass panic or face masks Edited January 2, 2021 by Banker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
