I got a test on Wednesday for a cold that developed into a persistent cough (which happens every time I get a cold).

Thankfully the result came back in a day, but the Mrs wasn't impressed as we had to take my son out of school yesterday.

I know it’s dreadfully inconvenient... what else is one to do when faced with a beastly pandemic?

Installed it this morning. You;ve got to have something fairly old for it not to run

Were you in the trial zone? Until this morning you needed a trial code to turn the app on

When he stood down in 2018, he had £6million quids worth. Since then he's sold ninety percent. That'll be a gradual cashing in probably agreed with the company, in order to prevent a significant one of sale impacting the share price (or the visuals of a CEO selling the lot as soon as he leaves causing a run).

GSK I think? He was President for 6 years

He was head of R&D at GSK.

I don’t think this is the gotcha moment that the Torygraph thinks it is. As Biffer has pointed out, this is simply the residue of his share options, and is only 10% of his previous holdings. It’s also worth noting that GSK is not involved with either of the main UK vaccine candidates at Oxford or Imperial. It’s only university partner appears to be the University of Queensland.

If he had substantial shareholding’s in AstraZeneca, there might have been more of a story, given its involvement with the Oxford vaccine candidate, but he doesn’t appear to have invested in AZ.

You just need to learn how it works, all the identical measures taken up here are brilliant according to the same folk

I’m sure it does. I’m just constantly surprised by the dichotomy regarding the “Boris is a liar” ..... “let’s trust their covid response”

Boris didn't develop this.

The app has been developed in a way that's orthogonal to how Boris and chums operate their government. International collaboration, openness, rigorous inpsection by all parties, public scrutiny...

JM2K6 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 24, 2020 1:28 pm Happily, people can check the app's code for themselves to see what it can and can't allow. Assuming malicious use by the government and/or third parties was an essential first step in seeing whether the app was actually worth using or not.

So don't download the App or wear a mask. Just STFU if others think it's a good idea and want to do it for the sake of their fellow man.

Selfish, preachy cunt

There's no shroud of secrecy, no bullshit, and no partisan political nonsense involved.

TORY GOVERNMENT BAD GRRR would see people rejecting it out of hand.

Good stuff regarding the App. That wasn’t my point . Sorry for the confusion.

I’m fairly sure the data will be misused. I don’t believe anything big tech says. I also believe when companies like Facebook hire high profile politicians like Nick Clegg the game is properly rigged.
