Sorry to hear that. We had to call the police several times during my time on ICU - its a stressful place for relatives and some cannot control their emotions especially when alcohol is involved. Only got back to UK 10 days ago but have joined a group of retirees returning to work to support our ICU colleagues - not as straight forward as it may seem - contracts, ID badges, carparking, computer access, CRB checks - it probably wont be all ready when we turn up but we all feel we gotta help somehow as the situation on the ICUs is dire.

[quote="RealBeale" The Officer also stated how stupid the general public are and how they seem not to understand the severity of this whole situation. [/quote]

I know they do a lot of good work with hospitals, especially with children, so I wonder if there might be some volunteers to help on the ward doors from local Hell's Angels chapters. Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own! |

Vodafone has supplied phone location data to the government so the government can see how long people are keeping or not keeping social distance. Probably the other telcos have or will do do soon. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Lightwater, how does that work? Simply by identifying large groupings of people? Accuracy around here seems to be pretty variable, with my phone often showing me to be a couple of miles out to sea, when I don‘t even have a boat! 2005 D3 2.7 Auto

Yes, I understand millimetre accuracy GPS (or equivalent) from satellite, but surely mobile ‘phone location is still based on triangulation from 4G or 3G masts? There are still “not spots” for 3G near me, and I was assuming that phone location services were poor here because of the limited triangulation available? 2005 D3 2.7 Auto

So sorry to hear that, thoughts with you and your family..... My Son told us one of the hardest parts of this virus is telling close relatives they cannot be with their loved ones as they pass, although just occasionally in “special circumstances” they look the other way for a few minutes.....he said they don’t have enough PPE for the Doctors let alone relatives who should be at the bedside. But he did say they never leave a patient alone at that time, there is always a nurse or doctor there, it’s not just a job for these people. Regards David Lovely i6 has now gone, but not me...... Please let me know if anything in my post offends you, as I may wish to offend you again...... |

Regarding location, it is possible to remotely access any data on a phone, the only way to stop data transmission is to remove the battery,. The only reason why triangulation is used is purely legal, it is illegal at present to use GPS position without permission and you grant location for specific reasons for various apps, should the government decide and pass a bill your location will be accessible to the appropriate authorised services. my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

A lot of apps use the phone's GPS, often for no real value other than selling advertising.
