Taking back control

[vetran]

I can't believe they sent a test out without a barcode so they could link it to an address just in case the paperwork wasn't done correctly by the test subject.

This government and their agencies are a fecking joke....

From the sound of it the test was at the airport

So it was related to an airline ticket and/or passport.

Yeah completely impossible to trace.....

Badly filled forms should result in an additiona test performed, the Chinese way.

I wonder what the person whose test is "missing" is thinking. There's only going to be a small number of people who are wondering if it's them. If their identity gets leaked (ok, when), their lives are going to be made hell by the media for a while. That's enough to make you want to keep your head down and not come forward.

EDIT: That, of course, is on the assumption that the person actually cares / isn't a covid denier.

Thing is if they had immediately come forward no journalist/media organisation would be on the hunt for them.

And if they are a covid denier they will love airing their views.

Funny how everytime we have some good news (i.e. found a vaccine, rates are dropping, vaccinations are going well) we get some bad news a few days later about a new strain.

Funny that - what a coincidence - oh well at least it keeps the population scared. I call bulltulip.

Are you suggesting that there are no new strains? That the scientists who publish the results are lying?

Maybe we are getting new strains. The argument this is perfectly expected with a virus.

The suggestion is that the media and government are ensuring as much panic is caused as possible by making it seem so.

All this to stop you from going on holiday, a price well worth paying
