This sort of stuff goes on at every local authority up and down the country - granted they aren't giving the contracts to their mates (mostly). They are brought in to mask the inability of the semi senior management. Everyone needs a fall guy.

The app is really quite useless. Someone I live with is being told to self isolate for 11 days after matching a positive contact. No one else in the house has had a similar notification despite us all having been in the same place when said contact took place. I know it's common sense now that the rest of us also isolate but assuming we didn't live together we wouldn't have known

Depending on how the app works, the person told to isolate may have been detected as being closer to the positive case than you.

If it is a location based app, I'm sure there are thresholds that need to be met before telling someone to self isolate.

If that is the case, possibly your flat mate was in closer contact with the person for a longer period of time than you.

If the circuit breaker goes ahead, does everywhere reset into tiers 1-3 after the two week period ends?

They're doing the proper curfew thing in some French cities.

Virtue signalling move IMHO.

 

Stopping people going out of the house during quieter times of the day will prevent almost no transmissions. It’s almost as bad as our hospitality curfew.

if your found in the street your breaking the rules it's easier to enforce. Stops people being able to go to other people's houses etc.. etc..

 

And on the continent they tend to eat later and in bigger groups.

Interesting that the French are putting up similar case numbers to us with half the testing and far less deaths.

 

All that snail munching must be good for the immune system.

yes, he is just signalling virtues.

I guess what trying to do is stop the spread in pubs and clubs, but keeping schools and day time businesses open...may work a bit, but may not be enough.

Not completely sadly, still give masses of money to companies to deliver things badly time and time again..

Probably would still be based on the levels of infection. Even with a circuit breaker areas with high infection would still be high they'd just, hopefully, be going down not up.

Well the medical folk want us in Manchester under Tier 3, now only left to Boris to decide.... so I guess we'll be Tier 3

I commented on his earlier tweet that something would be leaked to the press 1st and there it is FFS  

[Crazyfool01]

we are now up to 51 cases per 100,000 from 0 a few weeks back  ..... time to scrap those tiers and get the circuit break , Dont want it , but we need it ....  

[jannybruck]

Media outlets and journalists, constantly desperate for a scoop to get retweets and engagement, have basically just let themselves become another arm of the government communications team haven't they? It's so frustrating seeing stuff get leaked out bit by bit.

Government strategy is to let the press leak the proposed plan and then choose whether to enable it or not based on the public’s reaction to it.
