How come no one works "day and night... Night and day..." any more?

Ooh form not filled in quite right

Will this mystery person be prosecuted? One would hope so, after the effort needed to trace them.

Don't be daft, how on earth were they to know that they had the variant?
LemonadeBudget · 05/03/2021 17:16

Blimey, they're loving this detective work aren't they?

Eccle80 · 05/03/2021 17:17

They have just said that the person attempted to register it online but it didn’t work, and that they are relatively confident they did isolate properly, so it doesn’t seem to merit prosecution

StealthPolarBear · 05/03/2021 17:18

Great story but why are they telling us this? Is this different from how previous variants have been handled? We didn't get unmasking pop ups within the previous variants

"take it off, Take it off, Take it off" and out pops Stanley Johnston!

Because theyre trying to big up Serco. Political.
StealthPolarBear · 05/03/2021 17:19

That was my suspicion - well not that specific but that we were being prepared for something.
Bet Andrew in Durham gets a gold star for asking that question!

I don't think they will unmask them. Too much risk of reprisals.

Because they've put PP back in her soundproof box and she's the one who generally says it!

It was a fault with registering online.

They isolated and kept the bar code. They also came forward. I don't think by what was described they deliberately hid!

XenoBitch · 05/03/2021 17:23

All they need to say is that the person has been found. Anything else is just patting themselves on the back.

StealthPolarBear · 05/03/2021 17:23

It was sarcasm, they were never going to say ooh its you Mrs Thomas from Portsmouth, come and get your prize!

I doubt it, they’re entitled to medical confidentiality. Why would he be prosecuted for not filling a form out correctly? I read he hadn’t travelled from abroad so doesn’t sound like it’s someone who has tried to dodge quarantine, etc. 🤷‍♀️

StealthPolarBear · 05/03/2021 17:25

I can hear Patel saying it but Johnson was also a fan

Quite the detective-ing to find the person, I'm impressed that they were able to

I thought the gave quite a lot of info, if you were local to them you'd have a fair chance of knowing who it was imo

It took them over a week from the appeal....after the test came back on 14th Feb - and they were on a flight - so they had a flight list. I genuinely think the police could have found them in a couple of hours!

Completely irrelevant but in a thread when your suggesting unmasking someone it's quite funny your response was my sons name and where we live 😳🤣🤣🤔.

Ps it wasn't me 😇

On what grounds? You need to have broken a law to be prosecuted 😂

Aaaah, hadn't seen tonight's briefing, I'd assumed it was deliberate avoidance when querying whether they'd be prosecuted.

Beebityboo · 05/03/2021 17:44

They should wheel him out on a press conference like he's on an episode of 'Stars in Their Eyes' "Tonight Matthew, I'm going to be the host of a new potentially deadly covid variant..."
