Meanwhile, France has reported 85,252 new cases in the last week. Almost exactly as many cases as China has reported during the entire pandemic (85,337).

Almost 400 new cases in Wales today and 3 more deaths. Vaughan Gething has been on TV saying these figures are like February 2 weeks before NHS services were suspended and 3.5 weeks before total lockdown. (So why are we half arsing this? We know the pattern)

Not too much to argue with in this Observer editorial...

btw Is anyone else suffering from severe lack of sleep amidst all this? It's hard to escape the suspicion that the government no longer cares a jot about Covid spread, as Johnson worries more about the libertarian wing of his party than public health. (You'd never guess now that he was seriously affected by this virus himself - he should know it's a serious disease.) I feel pretty much in despair about it all, and it just goes round and round my head...

This is a public health message from NHS Test & Trace. Please download the NHS COVID-19 app from the App Store/Google Play. More info at https://covid19.nhs.uk
My concerns are about data and efficacy.

The head again says face masks are dangerous for the user of not worn properly, I've said we should train the students. No response.
Face masks will be compulsory in schools soon, that's the rumour going around.

I had this sent to my phone yesterday evening, what's the general feeling on here about the app? Should we download it?

If they can get testing sorted this could be a great help at tracking and stopping spread. (Although if they can't, then it probably won't.)Last edited by Jimski; 27-09-2020, 07:08.

I'm no expert though, so if anyone knows better...
But definitely worth downloading. If they can get testing sorted this could be a great help at tracking and stopping spread. (Although if they can't, then it probably won't.)
The tweets above saying that NHS tests aren't linked to this are worrying. A corrupt government that seems happy to kill off its most vulnerable citizens.

Key West (my wife and I have been several times to the Live Aqua drag club shown in the photo but obviously won't be doing so again until there is a reliable vaccine)

The main problem I have with the app is that it eats my battery at a rate of knots. I turned it on when we got to the football yesterday, and when we left a couple of hours later it had gone from 90% to 31%. There's no way I'm going to be able to leave it on constantly if I'm out and about.
