I'v woken up today with absolutely no taste ?. Can't get a test though as the government have f***ed it at exactly the time the cases have slowly started to rise a bit...
Tried getting a home testing kit? Bit longer turn around but might be more viable? Hopefully just mild for ya. Think it's now 10 days after 1st symptoms you have to isolate for now?

Saw this morning interviews with 3 professors, two on SAGE body. Basically saying gov set test and trace up as a private organisation and it's a bit of a shit show as it stands. (The whole Didi running whatever new PHE is called and her husband owns the company that the app development has been outsourced to smells... ?)

Fills me with confidence this government, along with get Brexit done. Or perhaps they meant, the UK is Done ??‍♂️

Yesterday, out of curiosity after seeing complaints about tests I checked on the gov website. If I needed a test I’d need to drive a 120 mile round trip 3 days from yesterday. No home testing kits were available.

Here in Bolton, contacted sat morning that my local had a case, went on-line immediately to book, got a slot on the Sunday (loads of slots available), got the (negatibe) result yesterday (Tuesday) so the situatio is clearly patchy.

I checked yesterday as i was thinking could i take one just as a precaution as they were saying weeks back that 'anyone can have a test' ? and the closest test available with 1 slot in the next 5 days was 100 miles away and no home test kits available. This morning the website isn't working. The worrying thing is I am currently living with my mum as I moved out of London until i'm in the office
 
Well glad the gov has got it all working well and bedded in for the winter ?

While could give the health secretary a kicking, I heard on an interview reasons the education secretary didn't get the boot (yet) for all the mess ups was that he didn't want the grade algorithm, and that idea was direct from No.10 and went over him to push it through.

I get a feeling a lot of cabinet are getting shit orders they have to follow even if don't agree with them. (So basically not really in charge of their dept) ??‍♂️
 
Wonder how much this 6 person rule in the Uk will actually be enforced. Pubs and bars have had a pretty lax approach to enforcing it so far I have found...
It’s going to be mandatory for places to take contact details too. It had been optional previously.

Why the f*** would you make something so important optional!

The government have been playing the blame game from the start, i've been saying it all along. Unclear guidance all along is done on purpose.

Look at them now literally blaming people not having symptoms being tested for a lack of tests being available when they were the ones who said anyone can be tested. Clearly testing more people gives you a better view of how many people actually have it, which leads on to my next point.

They're saying it's all young people spreading it around, of course there are a lot of cases with younger people now, because when we were at the height you could only be tested when admitted to hospital, which is very unlikely for a young person. So the majority of cases were never found (Young people who are more likely to be out and about in general).
That one will especially play up to your classic old racist tory that sees a BLM protest or youngsters partying somewhere. It's all tactics and their supporters are thick enough to fall for it and will do whatever they're told, especially when the majority of the media are right wing and in their pocket.





Besides that the most interesting part of today is how they've decided to tests crowds at a horse racing event, that's the tory party who have a lot of major donors from the horse racing industry. It's not like it's alone is it? What was the last major event allowed before this all began? Oh yes, Cheltenham.

Let's delve a bit further. Who is responsible for Cheltenham? The Jockey Club. Who is a board member at The Jockey Club? Dido Harding. Who did the government put in charge of NHS Test and Trace, an app based on gathering public data? Dido Harding, the woman in charge of TalkTalk during one of the biggest data breaches in history. That's a weird appointment isn't it? No, because her husband is also a Tory of course. When they announced Public Health England was to be abolished (Not at all trying to blame them ? ) and replaced it with the National Institute for Health Protection, who would be the best person to take charge? Dido Harding, of course.

I like pointlessly delving in to their backgrounds or contracts handed out, every single one is dodgy.
