The UK’s delta surge is collapsing

Choose your own adventure, coronavirus edition.

You have coronavirus symptoms. During the middle of a surge in cases, the government has announced that all coronavirus restrictions have ended and everybody can go back to normal. The vast majority of older and vulnerable people have been fully vaccinated.

Do you:

A: get a test and risk having to isolate

B: not get a test and live your life like normal as the government said you should

Anecdotally, everybody I know has deleted the app from their phone so they can’t get pinged and live their life reasonably normally.

Anecdotally, I never installed it for the same reason.

I wonder how much is post-Snowden distrust of government software and how much is simply not wanting to be pinged?

Definitely both.

I would install it if it meant free paid holiday from work but I'm not employed and if I were I could probably work from home.
