No, mine's at Leicester. Like your missus I was not at all in this for the theory, I just wanted the practical stuff so I could argue more authoritatively at work for a better standard of collections care. I was honestly expecting the theory to be a lot of wishy washy liberal guff, but it turns out these mild-mannered curators have all been waving the red flag all along.

Yep that's me, and I'm hugely surprised by even this first experience of the current state of the field.

The few people I know studying museums are either very socialist or anarchists and want to destroy museums (conceptually or literally). Of all the cultural/arts 'clusters', heritage seems to be the true frontier between people clutching onto the idea of a museum against everyone else in museums and can see the intersectionality of everything they do.

Good luck on your MA

Yeah it seems the actual gatekeeping outside of the app is less than thorough. You need to self-isolate but not have a test if you're living with someone who's tested positive, but not if you've been near someone for a prolonged time who's tested positive. It's erring on the side of reckless. Is it possible for you to self-isolate for a few days to see if you get symptoms?

Yeah it just tells you that then disapears and gives no further information.

I'm honestly thinking of deleting the app because at the moment it just drains my battery and doesn't do anything useful.

I had to Google. He was in that boy band One Dimension, apparently. Also he has openly discussed mental health issues, so that hashtag is a bit poo poo.

The google/apple framework tells you you've been in contact with someone, but then the app itself decides if it was a long enough contact to warrant an isolation

If it doesn't tell you to isolate you don't need to worry

Ideally it wouldn't tell you at all if it wasn't important but the framework won't let anything block the notifications

I've had 4 pings but nothing enough to worry about. Not really surprising as I'm spending 5 hours a day checking people into a pub. I'm with them for a minute or two at most but then no further close contact. These days both me and the customer wearing a mask too

I am incredibly stupid
I'm confident that Starmer will show zero tolerance to this, as he does all forms of bigotry, so we can expect him to say nothing at all and maybe in two months Angela Rayner will say he ought to reflect on his conduct.

19th Century style political cartoon idea for someone good at art (what happened to our official thread cartoonist?):

A gallows with Kieth Starmer holding one end of an extremely long rope that loops up and over the top and then all the way back down to the ground where Boris Johnson is happily wandering about unimpeded by the rope around his neck because there's about eight foot of slack in it. All-caps text at the bottom reads GIVING THEM ENOUGH ROPE

You dont have to do anything. Its happening to loads of people, everyone I guess in theory, in fact if it isn't happening to everyone then its more broken than they are admitting.

It explains a bit here:

The NHS COVID-19 app uses Apple and Google Exposure Notifications. When exposure logging is switched on, Apple or Google may send you notifications. These may be called COVID-19 EXPOSURE LOGGING or COVID-19 Exposure Notifications. Sometimes it may seem as though these messages disappear, or you cannot click into them. These are default messages from Apple and Google. There is no need to be concerned if you miss or overlook them. You're currently not able to turn off these default Apple and Google notifications. Important messages from the NHS COVID-19 app will always be visible to you from inside the app.

Most of the notifications are just to remind you that the functionality is on and working. Others are labelled Possible COVID-19 Exposure. These messages do not come from the NHS COVID-19 app. The app uses a risk-scoring algorithm to filter out ‘false alarms’ based on distance and time. You only need to take action if you get a notification directly from the NHS COVID-19 app. Messages from the NHS COVID-19 app will not ‘disappear’ when you click them, you will be able to see the advice for you within the app when you open it.

Is there a sliding scale for corruption? If I give a Tory councillor the rest of my pack of monster munch can I get the contract to fix all the potholes in the parish? Then I reinvest the profits from filling them with sand and piss into buying an MP a hearty lunch and am put in charge of all the country's prisons.
