Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

[Vindec]

I was surprised I was able to download the ap so easily. I thought that there would be huge demand meaning delays in downloading it but that wasn't the case. The ap seems quite impressive with functions that were better than expected.

[xsnaggle]

corrected it for you

That too.
Quite frankly I have no idea what IOS is

[Dorcus]

Just tried to download the new App onto my IPhone 6 only to learn that it is not compatible with my phone because I can't get the appropriate version of IOS. So, a phone that is only five years old is considered obsolete for the official App for the virus which has killed ten of thousands in this country - a virus that is shown to be more virulent and fatal in poorer areas, the sort of areas where people are more likely to have older phones because they can't afford newer ones. I'd add as well that the most vulnerable age group are not in the habit of rushing out and buying the new IPhone when it is released every year - there will be millions of older people in this country who will not be able to use the App this morning even if they were minded to.

Fair play to this government, they're always well prepared in advance and cover all bases.

Might aswell chuck us on list in the vale aswell as we'll be pretty much surrounded with areas on local lockdowns.
Can still drive through the fire to tenby or brecon beacons i guess though.

Cardiff, Swansea and Llanelli to join those other areas with restrictions this weekend - must be about three quarters of the population on Wales involved now?

I can't see anywhere that says what the actual restrictions are for Cardiff yet though

Thanks, but there's nothing there that says "people in Cardiff are now unable to..."

I guess it's assumed that it's just the general Covid restrictions - no leaving the area without good reason etc

Almost all the surrounding areas were all already in lockdown, so the only difference from this is that you can't go to the vale of glamorgan without a good reason.

It looks like Kim Jong-un has found the definitive answer to people returning from another country who may be bringing Covid with them. Shoot to kill on sight. He also arranges cremation of the body.

There is rumour that the partial lockdown has resulted in a drop in cases in Caerphilly, but even if they are released from lockdown they're fecked. All the other areas have got them surrounded so they still can't go anywhere.

He's a writer mainly. Judging by his books he's been a gloom-laden liberal all his life..

this reeks of corruption

[the other bob wilson]

Just 4,044 new cases today - I know they're weekend figures, but that's a big drop from the norm of the last week or so.

Not surprising though is it.

They don't even try to hide it really and some on here just willingly take it up the arse without lube and suggest anyone who disagrees with these efforts as being unpatriotic or a doomsayer.

The most corrupt gaggle of cuunts we've ever had as a government and that's some feat.
