The research raises major questions about the effectiveness of England’s Test and Trace programme as Prime Minister Boris Johnson seeks to keep a lid on rising infection numbers with new restrictions. It also found that only 10.9% of people told by the NHS Test and Trace scheme to self-isolate after close contact with a COVID-19 case had done so for 14 days as required.

Johnson promised a “world-beating” test and trace system, but it has been dogged with problems, regularly failing to meet a target of reaching 80% of contacts. A tracing app finally launched on Thursday after four months of delays.

Perfect. Covid has become the biggest joke in history.

That's their right as human beings. The UK already has enough crazy rules, suppressing personal freedoms, let the Britons have their day at the beach. 🏖️

Hardly surprising. I wonder how many holiday makers ignored their symptoms?

Idiots

Looking at your picture and how that has no relevance to current conditions in autumn in the UK

🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Of course they r not. They have brains. Hello BillGates

£10 entrance fee per person, to enter public spaces, when groups of 6 + ?

Because it is not needed.

80%......Being forced to lockdown or quarantine puts strain on finances and ability to provide for a family. We love to shame and call people stupid.....This graphic is misleading. “Our results suggest that financial constraints and caring responsibilities impeded adherence'

Leonardo Da Vinci's 'The Last Picnic'.

Good

If you don’t care about your own life what about parents, children, friends or older family members. Are you Okay with being responsible for the loss of even 1 life?

It’s because most people don’t even know anyone that is sick. And every report is only of someone testing positive but no description of severity

Is this a Karen report?

Freedom finds a way.

All living in Manchester lol xx

No thanks to Cummings and his eye test.

New COVID-19 survival rates per CDC: 0-19: 99.997% 20-49: 99.98% 50-69: 99.5% 70 & over: 94.6%

None of us are as dumb as all of us 😭😭🤬

100% in Sweden

expect around 1M deaths then? 3% of 66M people is actually 1980000 dead. but i’m being conservative, like their crapcocked ‘leadership’.

Thank God people are living life and not adhering to stupid rules that actually protect no one.

I'd say: 'Over 80% of world population not heeding COVID-19 self-isolation rules'

It’s about time we started thinking for ourselves!

Well now we know where the US gets it from - bad parenting!

If 80% are either ignorant of or are wilfully breaking the rules, then the rules are pointless. Time to learn to live with it.

they are going for herd immunity.. only several million have to die. its a great trade off to be able to go lay on a stony beach

Hardly surprising since the UK has a corrupt and fraudulent government that doesn't stick to the covid guidelines itself.

can't imagine how this could end badly

So 80% of positives is how many,give us those figures

Blame dc it all started then ,that people realised its us and them

remember BSE ,mad cow desease’ about 24 years ago? is is this a result?

Arrest them!

احنا بالعراق 99.9% 😐😎

IDIOTS IN THE MEDIA

Reminds me of ' The Last Supper'.

It’s not only the Britons I’m afraid, it’s the whole world 🌎

Why are they having fun!

Oh no - will you be able to sleep tonight? Tell mommy!

the algos are not pleased

Good

TRY ARRESTING THEM ALL.....

Study finds.... 😂😂

So this is why

Only?

thanks God people still using brain

Shock me 🙄

All the isolation rules and restrictions are doing is prolonging the effect of the pandemic. Just like a good fire in a forest, it needs to be let go and allow it to burn itself out. Yes, some saplings and some of the older trees will die, but it's better for the whole forest.

The virus is real but the pandemic is not.

Go Britain.

Lockdowns do not work. People just want to get on with their lives 🤷🏽‍♂️
