Coronavirus update - NO MORE RESTRICTIONS

[A Quiet Monkfish]

No it wasn't. You were talking garbage - something you've become quite adept at since the pandemic began.

The claim in your original post is hopelessly inaccurate.

What claim ?

[The Lone Gunman]

What claim ?

"Absolutely no way we could have been infected at that place, yet if someone who went there within 14 days either side of when we went, gets symptoms, [almost certainly contracted from somewhere else], we will get a phone call instructing us both to stay indoors for 2 weeks and get people to drop of food etc."

That claim. It's bollocks.

So why do they take our contact details ? The above is a summary of what's on the Govt. webpages. Oh, and if you reply, try and be polite..

Contact details are taken as a person who has tested positive will be asked by contact tracers who they have recently been in contact with and where they have been. Recent is the 2 days before getting symptoms onwards.

If they say they were in that cafe and at a time they were at risk of passing it on the cafe will have your details. You can then be contacted if you were in close contact of that person.

Your post sorry was completely inaccurate.

No it's not. If someone tests positive they're asked for all their contacts - including work, restaurants bars etc., where they have been when they became infected. That can be anytime up to 14 days before the test proved they had Covid19.[ the person may have had symptoms for up to 14 days prior] If they visited the cafe in question during that period, NHS track and trace contacts all those tel numbers of people who have been to the cafe during that period, and are then instructed to self isolate for 14 days. That's what it says on the Govt. webpages - it's not an opinion, it's a fact..

Educate yourself before spreading any more misinformation. The track and trace system is designed to limit outbreaks of the virus, not close the bloody country.

Do you really think that's happening for the many tens of thousands of positive cases every week?
