The govt is over-focused on "Getting Brexit Done" to the exclusion of all other considerations. Like public health and the nation's economy and security.

As lorry drivers and farm workers are exempt, I assume heads of state on state business are likewise. |

Does anyone really understand the "rules" now. Just seems like a bit of a free for all now provided we all "stay alert" and apply "British common sense" (or as Boris acknowledged on Tuesday "well, a lot of people are").
Which of course is shit, cos this aint over.

Hush now, Boris is bored of COVID, he's "moved on" to get back to Get Brexit Done, Tim Tams and painting a plane. The Jed McCrory of PMs. ROOOOOAAAARRRRRRR! |

Setting everything aside, painting a plane apparently costs £900k, what are they painting it with? Johnson has also moved PMQ's into a new era where the PM doesn't answer the questions but the LotO apparently has to. |

That "world-beating" test and trace app that was vital to easing lockdown but now won't be available till winter? The world is in denial about being beaten by it: they think it's a laughable scam. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/17/world/europe/uk-contact-tracing-coronavirus.htmlAll piss-taking aside, this is important, because it's not just the app. We don't actually have a test and trace strategy. And without that we're basically just lifting lockdown on a wing and a prayer. We're no better off than when we were doing Herd Immunity back in March. Which led to 60,000 deaths. |

We do, its just not fully operational and relies on the honesty of the general public in "grassing up"/admmitting to/remebering their significant contacts and movements. And then having the resources to follow it up... Oh. |

It's not just about the app, tbh that's a bit of a red herring (or Herr Herring, I guess). It's having a local public health infrastructure and being prepared to use it. Thanks to a decade of austerity, ours has been slashed to the bone but rather than build it back up and put all that knowledge and experience to work, the govt prefer to centralise and privatise everything so our test and trace is being flogged off to private providers with proven track records of incompetence. But Cummings' mates are going to make a stack load of cash off it, so hey, count the money rolling in and pile the body bags over there. |

So over to the public now then, lets see how many people give the wrong info or don't phone back when contacted.

Oh, for the love of ... Can't we just buy in from Deutschland and rebrand. I bet that and an entire new backend would have been cheaper than what we've spent |

I can imagine we will end up using tracing paper.
