Is is arguable that a press card would be reasonable initial proof of status. I'll bet that farage would claim to be a journalist one minute, a politician the next, and anything else that worked to his advantage from time to time.

Land of the free; home of the brave dead. I guess, so long as those who die are democrat voters... Donald Trump is effectively abandoning a public health strategy for the coronavirus pandemic and showing “clear willingness to trade lives for the Dow Jones”, critics say. A leaked internal...

Am perfectly happy to believe that the microphone is for leakage testing, but I still want to know how they react in someone with objective tinnitus.

In terms of prevention at the start, yes. But it could well come to the fore to identify and try to manage "hotspots" (even if they are the size of a county).

Is it not illegal to drive wearing headphones (even if implemented as ear bud style)?

But if your calculations are wrong... ? My point being that a meeter/greeter in the worst case, belching out vast quantities of viral matter, could infect a LOT of people. A hairdresser working on his/her own with a single client at a time, could at worst manage a few a day. It is also far...

Ah but you are using figures from now. We should wait until it is all over, so they say, before awarding the FA Cup. (FA not meaning Football Association.)

They also lend some credence to the "I had the worst cough/flu I've ever had. Could it have been covid-19?" posts - which seemed to date from early January onwards - getting the answer "Yes!" Although they are saying we have reliable antibody tests, I am not aware of significant deployment...

I don't get that. Most similar devices do NOT have an inside microphone. They use their outside microphone(s) to sense environmental noise, and add generated anti-noise to the signal supplied to the sound element. Nothing can detect what I am hearing. I could be 100% deaf, or (as is really the...

Interesting to consider whether an account is needed! Bluetooth doesn't need a SIM, does it? Hmmm...

We already knew of the much-hyped chap on skiing holiday. We already knew of many cases from people returning from Italy. Was the big theme some weeks/months ago. How many came from Madrid via Liverpool? How many Cheltenham vistors came from Europe? Does Europe include Ireland?

Masks, again... Vallance said evidence in favour of masks protecting public 'marginal but positive' Back in the health committee Vallance is now talking about masks. He says the evidence suggests that, in terms of preventing wearers from spreading coronavirus to...

Not clear if you could actually use both the UK government and the Apple/Google approaches at the same time. Anyone who does travel (lorry drivers, sailors, etc.) might both need and want to do so. Even if you can, there will be problems...

Well I did read (forgotten where) that the strength of the Bluetooth signal can be assessed. Just didn't see or notice what scale of distances might be able to be inferred. Will try to remember to have a look around sometime.

The UK app seems not to be using the Apple/Google technology. (Though they might have done various things to enable it.) Apple IOS 13.5 seems pertinent: iOS 13.5 coming soon: bringing Covid 19 tracing and masked unlocking iOS 13.5 and iPadOS 13.5 will be coming to iPhones and iPads soon -...

Pushing back the start, at least in Europe: French hospital discovers Covid-19 case from December Man found to have had virus a month before government confirmed first cases https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/04/french-hospital-discovers-covid-19-case-december-retested “He was sick...

I think we all know this as a reality, but seeing some figures makes it even more impressive as a super-gigantic giga-mistake: Just 273 people who arrived in UK in run-up to lockdown were quarantined Exclusive: Home Office figures cover period when 18.1m people entered country...

If covid-19 doesn't stop you breathing, seek out some very loud speakers?

How precise is the Bluetooth distance estimation?

Have been looking at them and trying to understand quite what the inside ear microphone does? Most such devices don't seem to have one. If you suffer from objective tinnitus, would it noise cancel it?
