Track and Trace

[sunglasses123]

So once T&T is up and running and you get a notification that you have been in close contact with someone with CV19. You could be bleeped all the time especially if you are meeting your family which I believe is one of the highest risks and one of them has it Passing someone within 2 metres in a supermarket has little risk.

If for example its the winter and you are due to go on holiday, get married, go to a funeral etc and you are told to isolate then why would some people even get the app if they thought they would be stopped from doing something pre booked/arranged.

I see the younger people even less likely to have the track and trace because even if they had it they are likely to have symptons.

Or do we think its likely that its only with severe cases with a huge viral load given to you that will result in you being asked to self isolate.

I work at home most of the time anyway so this wouldnt be a big issue for me (unless I was about to go on holiday - I suspect your travel insurance would not cover you for this scenario) but for others I can envisage huge concerns going forward.

They are doing heaps better than Labour would have done. Thank goodness people did not vote Labour in. It would have been much worse.

@B1rdbra1n - I agree. The UK’s handling of the pandemic is becoming as bad as Trumps. The only positive is that this disaster of a government will be shortening their time in office. The Tories popularity is dropping each week.

This is a worthless claim because you have no idea if it's correct or not. The same with anyone who confidently tells us any other party would be doing better. As none of you have the foggiest, it's just people doing tribalism.

Agreed, we have no idea how they would have done. Although I suspect if they were in, they would be crucified for furloughing staff and the old that you can't trust Labour with the economy would have been thrown against them. So perhaps, it's better that the Conservatives have got to fuck up this crisis, because we might now stand more of a chance of changing our government next time.

Ludicrous thing to say, particularly in light of our appalling death rate under the Conservatives.

I suspect New Zealanders are absolutely delighted to have a Labour government in power.
