COVID-19 — Coronavirus

if you live in Leicester you just use your common sense, infection rate is too high so stay in and isolate

There's your problem

This is the government’s opportunity to finally get something right since this all began. You would have thought more stringent measures such as roadblocks and put a curfew in place for two weeks to curb this out break. Now it means if I live in Leicester I can just get in the car and go to the pub 5 minutes outside of the locality on Saturday.

It’s really mixed messaging throwing boozers open across the country but then moving Leicester back to stay at home. I would imagine yo-yoing in an out of lockdown isn’t good for a local economy neither.

It won't be that simple. You have to give your details in at the bar.

I think we all know that won't work particularly well sadly! It's pretty obvious people will just end up giving fake details, and I also suspect most bars will just give up after meeting a bit of resistance when asking.

I'd imagine people will be asked for proof of ID and address in certain areas, if not all. Not to mention car registration.

Mickey Mouse, Jimmy Saville and Elvis Presley will be on the piss on Saturday.

the pubs having all this personal data is a bit of a minefield - i believe someone in NZ got in a lot of trouble as they were contacting customers they liked the look of.

anyway i think they have to delete the data under GDPR with a certain timeframe, but then surely it all depends on whether the person is infected or comes into contact with infected folks, and the data is used for track and trace. Which doesnt work.

There's going to be an awful lot of Adam Smith's going for a pint this weekend.

I've had a fair bit to do with GDPR as it rolled out, let's just say that any pub writing names and address down on a piece of paper will be in breach of it.

yes, i would have thought so.

i suppose most pubs are not going to allow folk in off the street, but only pre-booked tables? in which case electronically collecting data becomes easier

speculation: Will 2020 total deaths from all causes be roughly in line with the long term average?
