superbigal Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 The Apps gonna run on bluetooth and not gprs. Many wont have a clue what bluetooth is.Many clearly dont have.If your bluetooth is permanently switched on your "device" is already being tracked to an extent. Bluetooth sensors probably in plenty places we already visit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Not that you can go on any data just now, but seems warmer locations have less numbers which may come out as something in the future.That's kinda what I was getting at. What are the contributing factors? Climate, genetics, diet, social norms?Every virus is different but hopefully there's enough to learn from this to help the next time we're faced with a similar situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air quality is supposed to be a factor, if so it might partly explain why the death toll in Lombardy was so high. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won’t be using it as - A - I have no more storage space on my phone for another app B - The people most at risk from the virus are the elderly, a large percentage of which don’t have mobile phones, which renders the whole thing a bit pointless imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would be listening to advice from all sorts of people then they would act accordingly (for good or for ill). Why do you disagree? I don't disagree I just thought it was funny how this was phrased. Read it back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but you have to be available to go back if required. I think there's a "reasonable notice" clause. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is anyones guess at the moment and will be for a long time. Certainly harder to suggest anything more than a hunch due to a lot of these countries not having the ability to test and measure. However, if you look at the death rates and even allowing for a big percentage, there is a huge differential. I think if the countries reporting more than 4 digit deaths, only Brazil and Mexico would have a high temperature at that/this time of year. Can’t be anything more than a hunch though.There are absolutely too many factors to consider to compare countries and the reactions of people play a big part. As for learning, that is also probably a factor, Asia has mostly handled this better having some experience before and adapting and reacting quickly with some measure of discipline and less panic. In europe it appears somewhat different to that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every decision regarding Scotland should be made in Scotland and no down in Westminster. If the decision is ill then so be it. Of course that would only be found out in hindsight. No government has the monopoly on good decisions. There will be some bad decisions but such is life. I'm not missing your point at all. I'm merely recognising the essential chauvanism behind it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you’re clear on that. You’re ‘advised’ in the sense that you may not get a truncheon to the face if you disobey but going to the shops for food or a wander round the park are explicitly mentioned as inadvisable. Yeah I appreciate that and it is a bit different for me, it was more addressing the idea that's starting to become more prevalent that we're being forced to stay inside, as if we're under some kind of military curfew, when in reality it's the lightest touch lock down that I can see of all the countries that have been told by their govt to lockdown, most businesses are functioning if not open, and you can pretty much go out as much as you'd like for as long as you'd like. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't affect it but you'll get hammered for tax on the second job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
