    I was not exhalting the merits of herd immunity and (I actually said mentality to be factual professor) I was merely pointing out one part about it, full stop end of conversation.

    Got the app too.

    I understand the herd immunity comments but it's impossible to say at this stage that it's actually a good thing. Firstly there's no guarantee that having it once does actually provide immunity, and secondly, a load of those who get covid and survive it are displaying dodgy hearts and lungs and the like.

    Don't really want it personally even if it will give me immunity to be honest!

    Good luck getting into the 8% chance of getting the antibodies then mate.

    But that's my point, even if it turns out I do have the antibodies, it might mean my heart is fooked. Would prefer to wait for a vaccine I think.

    Sweden I heard who done herd community are on the upwards curve now. Dr Hilary told me this morning on Lorraine. I’m going to miss her when I’m told to go back to the office. I would do rude things with her.

    Rob,
    I'm old so be gentle.
    Isn't the App a bit like wearing a mask.

    It helps others.

    I think it relies on others to be honest. If I input that I’ve been tested positive then anyone that I’ve been near get an alert to say about me. But if certain members of my family get tested positive you’ve no chance because they are dimlows and think they can carry on without a care in the world. I was embarrassed to read what I did this morning on the family WhatsApp group chat. I felt sorry for sensible people knowing my family are out there walking amongst them.

    Judging by what my wife and I witnessed today, far too many kids do not give a sh1t. More than likely following their parents lead.

    I went to a local shop in Hengrove today, 8 people in there of all ages and only 1 of them wearing a mask as well as me! I made a point of counting as there were so few wearing them.

    Which ever way you wish to address it didn't have a positive effect, SD OR NOT ….

    After a bit of a runaround managed it ...said there had been 500k downloads …. only another 30,500,000 to go!

    no one really wants it!
    Apparently the younger sufferers are getting the dodgy organs after effect [ younger than 50's ?] most of the old uns just pop their clogs …

    it means you are out of the circle for 14 days so basically should you have caught it/ are then carrying it, but not infected, you don't pass it on. Not looked into how it actually works, but believe it only gives a warning should the infected has logged in!

    And for all of Asda's bluster about employing 'Marshalls' on the doors of their supermarkets to enforce people to wear a mask, this is apparently still some weeks away.
    Went to my local Asda in Whitchurch when they opened at 07.00 and it was much busier than normal. Big gaps appearing in dried pasta and loo roll stocks again as morons are obviously panic buying such things.
    Asda have also reintroduced their crowd barriers outside and inside of the store to herd people like cattle, and prevent them crossing the foyer once inside.
    Also went to Tesco at Bris early this morning and a lot of their offers on multi buys have been taken down overnight, so they will be coining it in again like they did when lockdown was first introduced. Lack of loo rolls there as well.
