It's always been a favoured tactic of those that retain the levers of power - create discord amongst those that you wish to denigrate.
It's better that we squabble over inconsequentials - he got 10 % off but she didn't, she went at 8am but he had to go at 9 - than we start asking bigger questions.
Like, why hasn't anybody answered this simple question - in March, somebody said that 20,000 excess deaths would be a 'good' outcome.
We have twice that already, at the very least, so why hasn't there been any kind of acknowledgement that we gone done f'd up? Like, big time?
But no, let's get annoyed about two people getting the fresh baked first.

You can't talk poorly of our magnificent leader, sure we may have killed a few thousand more people than anyone else but he's going to Get Brexit Done!

At least the economy wont suffer too much. Locking down later and half arsed is paying dividends now!

Glad I got a year's worth of D3 and K2 (if you just get D3 you're increasing your chance of kidney stones, need some K2 to wash it down with) a while back now.

With his oven ready deal that he no longer likes.
The 2 metre rule worries me - we have to make masks mandatory if they relax it.

Everybody should wear a burqa, just to annoy the tosser.
Can you get them with the Royal Mail logo on?

Ironically in France you can be both fined for wearing a face covering (burqa) and fined for not wearing a face covering (mask)
Idiots!

My test came back negative. I think me having a sore throat triggered it - that's bound to be down to hayfever and my inability to breath through my nose.

Yeah if you give any indication of symptoms after opting in I think they give you a test
Mind you, doing the test yourself I don’t think is as reliable, really gotta dig back there at your brain I hear?

@Lucy was the test the Zoe test, and was it a test to see if you've had covid, or have it at the moment? (if I'm not being too personal)
@Cue the Zoe app has been asking me to have a test for the last few weeks, and I've had no symptoms whatsoever...
I'm really not sure what to do about it, my job means I'm in very close contact (less than 2 meters) with hundreds of people each day. I'm not behind a screen, people can still come right up to me, have touched me... So I don't know if my result would be of any use whatsoever. I'm not in everyone else's normal(ish) circumstances...
I don't have any symptoms, but it would be useful to know if I have had it. (which I think I have, but weeks before lockdown)

If it asks you probably should, they’ll want it for statistical purposes I imagine. I believe the idea is to build up algorithms that can evaluate whether someone has it based on the data they provide, so based on what you’ve entered in the past it’s possible their system believes you may have it or really wants to analyse a subsection of the population that you fall within. Also pretty sure that they ask you what you do as a job early on, so they already know you’re coming into contact with people constantly.
If you have, lucky you - getting it out of the way asymptomatically!

Bingo, it’s looking for asymptomatic folk
