So back to this point while I have a browser that can log in .. until the next change 1. All the indications and rhetoric were that the ping was a required instruction ... even Johnson felt the need to cook up and excuse rather than just bring out the 'its advisory when we do it .. yet again - remember that? 2. I thought it was required .. as clearly the vast majority did - just like with Cummings - catch us twice eh? ... and who would have thought that NHS test and trace app wasnt under the same rules as NHS test and trace .. even if they aren't NHS ? - almost no-one 3. The Liars err populist politicians are still banging on about 'who is exempt from locking down when pinged .. - errr given the above thats EVERYBODY unless you want to TRY to claim some lockdown benefit it seems .. is it not?

Theres too much visibility to justify (falsify) the middleman multi-million fees (again) to sell them .. and anyway, no-one else wants to pay over the odds for expensive aprons and gloves that barely meets mcDonalds burger flipper standards at 100x the cost ..

In fact statistically (rough figures) 60+% of the population vaccinated, and even if it is 40% of those hospitalised vaccinated not the other way around ... Less than inspiring - surely that should be at most (20% in-effectiveness)*(40% not-vaccinated) of the hospitalised vaccinated ........ ....
