The NHS is normally overwhelmed during the winter with seasonal ‘flu and other winter problems - like old people falling and breaking bones. Adding a bit of Covid on top of that is going to make for a challenging time come Dec, Jan and Feb for the NHS. That is something that can be predicted with 100% certainty.

Maybe so. A&E admissions have been at an all tine low. People must be patching themselves up.
As long as I can work or have furlough I don't mind.

I don't understand why this app was so difficult? How complex is it? Doesn't all it do is detect when another phone is nearby and send the data back somewhere? I heard it's draining on power, because blue tooth has to be on all the time. [...]

And another wrinkle with the Android version of the Apple/Google "exposure API" - it's being distributed in an update to the increasingly-misnamed "Google Play Services". This means that it probably won't work any time soon on Android Open Source Project phones, which includes freaks like me using LineageOS but also the "blocked" Chinese manufacturers like Huawei, Xiaomi, BBK (better known here as OnePlus), TCL (Alcatel), ZTE, Tinno (Sugar), and so on.

Obviously, cutting off large parts of the Android phone market is another problem when you need a critical mass (some say over 20% of the population, others over 60%) to use the app for it to be effective even if it they get it working correctly.

The German app uses the exposure API. I've not checked whether D3PT is different.

The chances of that are a million to one, they said.

Just had a quick Google and I can't find anything. I must have mis-remembered something. That's the highest thing I can say about Dom.

I think his sister is the person you are thinking of.

The way its going you or I could be presenting the briefing soon. Maybe just in our pants.

It's happening.

One lectern again. I'm taking my trousers off. .

They are following the science as Boris just managed to say through smirking lips.

 

[Salty seadog]

But still,

Look, do they come or not, this is silly.

Apologies, I may not have been right.

So the sats are down but not really in a rush to go down so we've not nailed this yet. The R rate is the same as it's been for weeks.
But the threat level has been lowered and it's odd's on to formerly forget social distancing. New cases are rising in some areas including schools. How long before the penny drops and they slow things down before things really speed up?

This is one of the worst briefings yet. A no mark with no professional back up. Did not even attempt to answer the questions from the public. Who voted these balloons in?
