They've just handed the insurance companies a great big get out clause.

I wouldn't even bother with getting contractors to do it. Battery numbers will do the job. Was looking at wired ones earlier it looks like a major faff.

Hmm good point @shouldistop I suppose it would.

WouldBeGood · 30/09/2021 20:26

@shouldistop not unless it’s a condition of your insurance

You can’t register on the app without a passport or UK driving licence….

Nothing like collecting data on people.

Really? That seems poorly thought through.

Ooft, there are lots of people without either in the uk.

Groovee · 30/09/2021 20:54

Ds only has a provisional and his passport ran out last week🙈

BlameItOnTheBlackStar · 30/09/2021 21:04

How are you supposed to check a QR code that's on your phone? Confused

I'm not even sure it's the right app, I haven't seen anything from the government saying what it's called...

WouldBeGood · 30/09/2021 21:09

It’s not exactly cutting edge @BlameItOnTheBlackStar but it’s called NHS Scotland access Covid Status

And it refers to being for international travel rather than getting into Chancers

Yeah...I was going to ask about the app too. For something starting in 8 hours, there seems to have been precious little info about it. I've looked on Google play under "Scotland vaccine passport" and there's the one for scanning the QR codes, but not the one for us plebs to use, with our codes on there, as far as I can see.

And yes, handing out flyers on smoke alarms in libraries is less than useful when the libraries are still closed or being used as test centres! So the Venn diagram of people knowing about this, and those who've had a cough in the past week will be very closely aligned...

WouldBeGood · 30/09/2021 21:22

@ResilienceWanker there is one but with the above caveats

ResilienceWanker · 30/09/2021 21:22

Ah, cross post...that sounds like a different one! I'll have a look.

WouldBeGood · 30/09/2021 21:23

Nope. It's Protect Scotland or nothing for me. (or I can pretend I'm in NI, or England or Wales). Ah well... No Bongo Club for me.

Do you have an android phone @ResilienceWanker? DD does and can’t find it either 🤣

OP posts:
ResilienceWanker · 30/09/2021 21:30

Yes, a Google one! Maybe it's only available for iPhones. Nice and inclusive there...

WouldBeGood · 30/09/2021 21:31

It gets more and more ridiculous

I was in my local library the other week for the first time in 18 months and picked up a leaflet about the fire alarms. It tells you what to buy but thats it.

ElephantOfRisk · 30/09/2021 22:11

Android here and no app, i guess it just means they can claim it was available on time as they've released an Apple version.

Coquohvan · 30/09/2021 22:21

Here’s the Android icon.
Wouldn’t bother neither Apple nor Android work atm 😂

That's so odd. I've typed in its name and just can't find it! I don't really care... Especially if it doesn't work. But you'd have thought going looking for it would have been easier than that. I think I'll just download it as a pdf.

ResilienceWanker · 30/09/2021 22:36

Right. I've got the bugger via this page here . What a faff. And you're right, it doesn't work...

Coquohvan · 30/09/2021 22:53

We have added our NHS vaccine status to the French app ToutsAntiCovid.
It worked for us going through UK airport last month.
It’s utter madness that another countries app lets you add your vaccine status to use to travel from a Scottish airport. 🤷‍♀️
Total farce and embarrassment our Government is.
