They are not totally effective. My daughter caught it and she works in a hospital where everyone wears a mask unless they are eating or drinking.

Other than the hospital, she went absolutely nowhere and saw nobody outside of work. No shops, takeaways.

masks dont stop you catching, only spreading so if a clown wasnt wearing one she is totally exposed

With the money that has been thrown at, and is still being thrown at the NHS we should have the best IT system in the world. We should also have the best facilities and treatment but unfortunately we sadly don't. Successive governments and NHS management should be accountable but both seem fireproof.

Regarding the NHS IT system, I received an email several weeks ago asking me to book my booster appointment online. When I attempted to do so, I received a message informing me that, 'I was no longer able to do so as I had previously declined a vaccination'. This could not be more incorrect, I have never turned down a vaccination for anything! I immediately raised my issue and guess what, I haven't even had the courtesy of a reply. I therefore took matters into my own hands and arranged to have the booster at another location, my records have still not been updated. The biggest worry is that thousands of individuals could find themselves in the same position. The NHS is not fit for purpose it is simply broken, we have some great people working for it but they are being led by donkeys.

On another matter, could somebody please explain to me how the government and SAGE are so sure that Covid numbers are increasing when there is a shortage of testing kits?

i would be a lot better if it wasnt abused, plus it would still be mediocre compared to insurance run hospitals in the US as they get loads of coin just for them and it doesnt run to all other areas

Ignore the media and check out what the experts are saying. You could try: Dr. Martin Kulldorff, professor of medicine at Harvard University; Dr. Sunetra Gupta, professor at Oxford University; Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, professor at Stanford University Medical School; Professor Carl Heneghan at Oxford University for starters.

what fields are they experts in?

Anyway, why we're having a moan. I got e-mailed to register for track and trace as I I had been identified as having been in contact with someone who had tested positive for covid, no name(s) provided but I know it was my son who tested positive on New Years Eve. He's not a happy bunny!

Dad can you bring my guitar up to my room along with my play station and my firestick?

The moan, I've already registered on the NHS app, so every bit of information they need for the track and trace , NHS number, number of vaccines, types of vaccine, dates etc are available to them
Why are they are they not interactive?

Why in this day and age do we not have a National Identity card/record linked to our national insurance number/ NHS number/ passport number etc?

The track and trace app is an absolute scandal. £35bn into what? Some Tory cronies have been made very rich off the back of an app that is utterly poor. I genuinely didn’t think it was a thing anymore.

Unfortunately it is still viable. Not sure in what sense it is used now other than what it was built for.
