The Real Saints Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Someone who I was out with on Friday has just tested positive for Covid. Am I right in thinking that I don’t need a test unless I show symptoms and should otherwise just self-isolate? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandarilla Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 It is of course entirely possible that both parties come out of something looking bad. The Government for being what it is and Burnham for having achieved absolutely nothing. I think burnham has looked like genuine opposition, and i wish he was leading the labour party instead of starmer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The form you fill in calls for you to confirm certain symptoms twice. Even if you get a test and are negative you isolate. Saying that you only isolate (by law) if he shops you to the tracers and you get a text. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been all over the place and has contradicted himself several times during the last couple of weeks. He's also called for the measures now in place in Manchester to be applied across England as a whole, whilst simultaneously opposing them in Manchester. He's done a good job of opposing the government through some quick soundbites, but has ultimately achieved nothing. I'll give him one thing - this might be the first time the beigest man in the Labour party has had an original thought in his life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Mancs on Twitter going on as if they are Russians in the siege of Stalingrad. Only those pubs which do not serve "substantial meals" will close, all other pubs and restaurants still open. The household restrictions are tough but hey, in Scotland we'd had that for 4 weeks now. #ToriesOut is trending and, as much as I agree with the idea, Greater Manchester voted in 9 Tories out of 27 constituencies with the Tories having 35% of the vote compared to Labour's 48%. The north of England voting Tory is a major part of why they have an 80 seat majority. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants a tough lockdown - but only if those at the bottom of society are looked after in terms of government support.That's not the ridiculous position you paint it as.If you're not providing support for the poorest, then let them keep going to try and keep their jobs and pay the bills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an asymptomatic virus though? Not saying you’re wrong but if we are doing track and trace properly then all contacts of a positive tester should be tested and all their contacts as well. I thought that was the point of the app? To trace people before they spread it about when they’re asymptomatic? If not then what’s the point? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have that than go visiting family. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Does everyone you were out with have the app? Yeah. She has only recently sent her test results to the app though, so will be interesting to see how quickly it alerts me (if at all). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
