My daughter had similar with track and trace. They asked about her daughter and who she had close contact with. She said the other children in her class- "What are their contact details". Apart from a few she doesn't know others details. "But who was she in close contact with and their details". How is she supposed to know her actual movements during the day. And that was after she went through the same questions for her son a few days earlier.
Very frustrating!
The algorithm says to collect contact details. I would have thought her year and class should be enough and T&T can chase it up with the school.
For my younger son they only took school details - didn't take his year or class. As he'd played football on the Sunday they also wanted the address of where he'd played. As it was an away match we gave the postcode for the opposition. They didn't want any details of his own team.
I'm not convinced how much tracing and follow up is actually being done. It seems more like a stats counting thing to see where cases are geographically and then if it gets too many they try to do something about it.
I think it depends on the size of the venue, I've seen a few with a maximum capacity notice at the entrance .Daughter #2 has Covid, as does the g´daughter. They were at a family party on Saturday. 42 people!! Surely therés an indoor limit in the UK, or is there just recommendations?
No limits in England, rest of the UK may be different. The only recommendations are to ventilate the room, open windows etc. No number restrictions.Daughter #2 has Covid, as does the g´daughter.

My lad did three events in a Scotland about three weeks ago…there was over 200 at each. As it happens he mentioned that the vaccine passports side of things worked well with no hassle or delays for folk going in. That said there was no vaccine passport checking done at the turnstile when I was going into Hampden last Monday - or any of the turnstiles of the section of the ground. Mind you there were still thousands queuing to get in at kickoff so maybe they stopped bothering.I think it depends on the size of the venue, I've seen a few with a maximum capacity notice at the entrance .
Agreed , but Ethan, haven't the last few posts shown that T and T is a waste of time. Reemul has a positive case in his household, yet the rest are not isolating -see post 22186.
Just what is the point of ringing a positive test case and asking re contacts if the situation is as Reemul describes.
Seems to me T and T is only relevant in a lockdown scenario ?
Golfmmad's experience shows just how limited T and T can ever be.
Never able to recall and identify everyone(most) contacts anyway.
Looks like the UK has seen a constant high with infections. Some of the countries showing a recent increase are those with smaller populations where smaller increases will show higher as a percentage.
A load of rubbish. He is essentially arguing that although AZ has demonstrably lower primary efficacy and antibody response, it has a superior T-cell response. This makes no sense and must be due to the large amount of wishful thinking added to the vaccine mixture. Both AZ and the mRNA vaccines interact with the immune system in the same way (not all the others do, Novavax for example), but the effects on antibodies and T-cells appear to be proportional. Measuring antibodies is easy, measuring T-cell activity is somewhat harder, but measuring clinical effects overrides both, and mRNAs are clearly more effective. AZ is a good vaccine, though, and has a place. It is worth also noting that the JCVI chose not to offer it as a booster, a decision they would not have taken had there been any evidence that it offered at least a similar additional effect as the mRNAs.
The reason the rest of Europe is now doing badly where the UK is doing better is that last winter the UK had a large cull of the most vulnerable and they can't die again this winter, and the UK also brought some of its winter pressure forward into the summer. Overall vaccination rates are now similar to the UK in a number of European countries. Arguably, given that they have lower (or no) use of AZ means the effective population immunity is better in a number. Eastern European and Balkan countries lag behind most badly.
Certainly stopped bothering at a football ground in Edinburgh I was at a month or so ago with 17,000 is fans - stewards stopped after a big queue built up in a short space of timeMy lad did three events in a Scotland about three weeks ago…there was over 200 at each.

thank god for that. For a minute i thought maybe the UK had done something well!!
