We have a partial answer to where the database sits - in Europe it is said to be run by the Robert Koch Institute.

No, there were a few mugginses that signed up for the cards but I think a lot of us were prepared to stand and fight. I know I renewed my passport early because otherwise I'd have been one of the first who would have had to do all the biometric crap. I would have conveniently left the ID card at home had it been a requirement to carry it, and I don't think I was alone in that.

No matter what mistakes Teresa May has made in the past, I can't help but agree with what she has to say about the UK's Traffic Light travel rules; https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... ystem.html
Down here it's simple; a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of travel across any international border. If you test positive at any time then local rules apply as to quarantine and contact tracing. Simples.

Re: Coronabollocks..
SM & I have been and had the 1st Pfizer jab.
Administrative nightmare!
Have an ID number.
Have a Government Registration Number.
Have a Medical Insurance registration Number.
Have had a Government issued 'Appointment Code' SMS'd to me. With date, time & place of vaccination. Which was at the local branch of a Pharmacy chain.
The required document was the Pharmacies own Customer Loyalty Card!
Now he proud possessor of a Government Issue Vaccination Certificate.

Looking back at your posts I see your abuse comes at regular intervals. Can't tie it to a lunar cycle. Perhaps you escape regularly from the psychiatric Institute in which you are obviously confined and you make for the nearest internet access point to vent your rage and spite against me before a roving team of warders locates you and drags you back, frothing and spitting, to your padded cell. Further and better paticulars are awaited...
Its simple you spent the earlier period of this thread spreading bollox that gradually morphed from tales of going around visiting restaurants as there was really nothing to worry about...into all the figures are ***** and theres no covid anywhere near me...into throwing out false information as fact.
I dont hate you, I just think your an arsehole.

Re: Coronabollocks..
There was really nothing to worry about going to restaurants or elsewhere. There is really no serious covid in many places. So who is talking bollox, OFSO who is a gentlemen and a scholar or you who only crawl from under the rock to spew hatred?Bob wrote: ↑Fri Jun 11, 2021 1:50 pmOFSO wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 5:52 amWhy would I be proud?

Re: Coronabollocks..
Quite a few people who said there was nothing to fear and took insufficient precautions ended up dying of covid.

Re: Coronabollocks..
I have urged people from day one not to quote what they have read or seen in the media but to look at their own circle of friends and aquaintances. Some, like UP up in Scotland, are indeed aware of deaths nearby. Others, like the OFSOs, have had infected people close to us - about a dozen at the last count - but no deaths or hospitalisations. I'm not making this up, despite Ranting Roberts accusations.

Re: Coronabollocks..
OFSO, very true. I know of one person by name, a Rotarian in his 70s who died early on, and a cousin in WGC who had Covid in April last year, probably caught in hospital, he is in his mid 80s and now housebound from his prior stroke. Both daughters know if a death each.
It's definitely there but unless you know how they caught it you cannot draw conclusions except to know that your circumstances and precautions saw you avoid it.
That said, we are convinced we had CV and not flu.

Re: Coronabollocks..
Interesting article and I note they day the product is repackaged and issued by the NHS.
I know we use the NHS latteral flow test but I am surprised that the US company ships it to China for repackaging as it clearly states made in china. They said it only gives a positive result of you have a high viral load. Quel surprise, is that why we do it every 3 days when there is a 5 day incubation period?

Tochter, meine tochter.
She doesn't speak sausage language any more than I do.
She's a damn good doctor, though. A doctor three times over, actually. Very expensively so.

Re: Coronabollocks..
"Of COVID" or "with COVID"?

It’s real, but it is not deadly to every person who catches it.Undried Plum wrote: ↑Sat Jun 12, 2021 10:21 amMein dochter, who knows a thing or two about matters medical, reckons that Cv19 is real.
Ordinary flu is also real and some people die from or with it.
