I can’t see how it will work. Presumably people who refuse to take the vaccine (not those who can't take it) may simply be turned away from bars, clubs, gigs, events, flights... No one is forcing them to take the vaccine, so they still have their personal freedom, just saying that you're not welcome here without it. Much like [this is not a good analogy because... incoming in 3, 2, 1, ...] a pub is well within their rights to refuse entry to someone not wearing any clothes - they are allowed to be naked if they want and the landlord is allowed to say "you can't come in here like that."

It’s a reduction essentially, he didn’t say those words, but they cover the intent Quote "This summer will be a summer of economic recovery," he stated, adding that the 'health passport' – a QR code or certificate proving that the holder has a negative Covid-19 test, is fully vaccinated or recently recovered from Covid-19 – will be required throughout different establishments in France from August, including bars, restaurants, cafés and shopping centres. Soon after the president's address, France's online health portal Doctolib.fr crashed because of too many people trying to book vaccination appointments. https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20210712-follow-live-france-s-macron-addresses-the-nation-as-covid-19-delta-variant-surges 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they have their own vaccine certs over there now which has driven massive vaccination bookings but the quote is made up.

bickster Posted July 22, 2021 Moderator Share Posted July 22, 2021 So approximately 1% of the population of the UK were told to self-isolate by the T&T app last week. 1% in 1 week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough to “ping” people. Let them do a test, and then crack on (if negative of course). 7-10 days isolation is a joke. What about people that live next to a busy bus stop, or a shop or pub? I bet they’ll be permanently in isolation. Edited July 22, 2021 by Genie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Why are they reporting high numbers of people downloading the app like that’s a positive? That’s mostly people deleting the app when they’re notified and re-downloading it to remove the alert. Edited July 22, 2021 by a m ole 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 One of the lads down our place has been refused furlough. He’s on the books so is entitled to it, but our firm has said it’s too late now. He apparently sent one of the bosses a link to show him that he’s entitled to it, but they said take it as holiday or on the sick , but no furlough. I haven’t really looked at the furlough rules as it doesn’t effect me, but it seems very wrong of them to refuse him furlough. He has a child and another on the way.
