It's painful watching all this play out. As much as this "lockdown" has been half hearted, lifting it is clearly going to get more people killed, and its integrity has been steadily eroded through "journalism" day by day until the public are whipped into a frenzy ready to bombard our more isolated communities when inevitably given the go ahead to be tourists again. It burns my loving arse how dumb this country can be. Having said that I am of course desparate to go out and do stuff, although all I wanna do is go to Dartmoor for some wild camping in a big empty space so at least that's relatively harmless. When the restrictions get lifted I don't think I'll be going anywhere though for a while, unless I can totally avoid going to a town first and park somewhere more isolated (and safe). I just don't want to add to the tensions that I'm sure these locations are gonna be feeling.

Rather than being overwhelmed by doom some of the unions are seeing significant increase in membership and since their inaction will literally kill their members the bureaucracy is actually reasonably motivated to engage in co-ordinated action to keep schools closed until its safe to reopen and try and get more places closed so even if things are technically open there is the space for organised labour to keep them closed and keep people safe.

I think I’ll keep doing what I’m doing regardless of what happens with the lockdown. I certainly won’t be going anywhere with lots of people. My partner and I are both key workers so life hasn’t really changed much for us apart from not visiting anyone or going out to places when the weather is nice. Luckily we have a balcony so we can at least enjoy a drink in the sun.

UK eyeing switch to Apple-Google API for coronavirus contacts tracing https://techcrunch.com/2020/05/07/uk-eyeing-switch-to-apple-google-api-for-coronavirus-contacts-tracing-report Tldr: The app doesn't work (as predicted the government's Bluetooth workaround doesn't work) and we're now paying a consultancy £3.8m just to work out how much it's gonna cost to implement the apple/Google solution after all.

I know people are so beaten down by this point that they just shrug and say it's nothing we didn't know already but it's remarkable that they have the confidence to just say it in public now. The open statement that the interests of the nation and the interests of Boris Johnson are one and the same. There is a word for political systems whose institutions hold that view and it is not 'democracy'.

https://twitter.com/cnni/status/1258345606441041920 I was going to make a joke about how this is why the UK press is so keen to end the lockdown but it actually is one of the big reasons isn't it? ONS stats here: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopula...20to10april2020 quote:This provisional analysis has shown that the risk of death involving the coronavirus (COVID-19) among some ethnic groups is significantly higher than that of those of White ethnicity.

What would happen if we all just started using Ireland's app instead? It's fully decentralized, so it's not like it wouldn't work if two people with the app were near one another outside Ireland, unless they've put something in to limit installations.

I assume they're region locked in the respective app stores so you'd be looking at asking everyone to jailbreak their phones. I know Google have certainly said that they will remove any sideloaded apps that implement the API from people's phones directly (the same way they have malware in the past using Play Protect, which is in every non-rooted android phone from the last ~4 versions) You also can't trigger an exposure without a code from the national health authority.

You'd need a way of only allowing registered clinics and health authorities to flag a device as associated with a positive test, which is a pitfall, but it sounds better than having an app that stops working at the border in Ireland. (Of course it'd be fun to see the reactions of the conspiracy lot to a WHO/EU superapp.)

Guavanaut posted:It seems a bit odd that in an era where masses of people cross borders every day for work that we're relying on nation-states as the natural unit of pandemic app provision. I think (and I might be wrong) that once you have the app from your local app store, it works anywhere in the world (in terms of tracking exposure), it's just the exposure notification has to be triggered by your local health authority. They're putting a lot of restrictions on distribution and implementation both because of the obvious implications of malicious third party developers gaining access to the system but also because giant tech conglomerates who don't pay taxes don't suddenly want to be seen as usurping the government (see: Facebook Libra). This contains a pretty good overview of the restrictions Google/Apple are putting on anybody who wants to implement their system: https://techcrunch.com/2020/05/04/apple-and-google-release-sample-code-and-detailed-policies-for-covid-19-exposure-notification-apps/
