Haven't you heard? Bill Gates has put tracking nanobots in every shot of the vaccine.

It's all over Facebook.

No need for tattoos.... Steve

Confused ,.... I recall a previous regime that tattooed people for identification. Not sure that idea would go down well.

Not that I'm against per say some sort of "passport", but I think the 'how' is fraught with all sorts of privacy issues.

Not an easy one to solve. Andy

Does it really matter?

We all drive cars, so are happy to have/carry an ID card to prove our entitlement.
Those of us who travel abroad have (bio-metric?) passports.
Mobile phones can track your movements to within 10's of meters, and who doesn't have one of those?
My DS has a factory fit SIM card and GPS - I am fairly sure that LR know where I have been, how fast I was going, how hard I was braking. Press a button in the roof and it connects you to LR Assist, they tell you where you are.

I have been thinking the same. If i go to the cinema or a sporting event I can't get in without a ticket. If I go on a plane I still need a ticket and passport even for domestic travel I think. There are loads of things you are not allowed to do unless you have some sort of document stating your entitlement

I think you’ll find the very same people who are dead against having to carry identification (regardless of what it might be) are very happy to get a passport for their two weeks in the Spanish sun somewhere..... Whistle Regards

What does it take to get through to some people??
First time in possibly years I ventured out on public transport today to meet a couple of former work colleagues for a drink.
We met at an outside bar at a very big local shopping centre, Westfield in Stratford, East London. This needed me travelling on Docklands Light Railway (a driver only system) mid afternoon, probably 20 people in the carriage, 50% not wearing a mask. Mask wearing not too bad at the pub.
Journey home in late rush hour, packed DLR, noticeable how many were not wearing masks or were sporting them as a fashion accessory 'under the chin or around the neck'. Local bus, far more passengers than there should have been, probably no more than 60% wearing masks.
Walked past local corner shop back to home, no one going in/out wearing a mask, but then it's been like this since day one - staff wear masks behind their screen, the cynic in me suggests that so long as they get money coming through the door why should they question it.
Fourth wave coming to your local town shortly

Welcome to Bolton
average infection for England 22 per 1,000
Bolton 162 per 1,000

Bolton Hospital when I was there last week was on red alert when I asked a nurse how bad that is he said black alert is the next highest, at that point they turn ambulances away.

Covid isn't going away any time soon, just wait until they open us up to foreign travel, it's not necessarily those going away for 2 weeks in the sun as the hotels should have covid measures in place, in my opinion it's those going to visit relatives abroad that are going to pose the greatest risk. Your hardly going to meet your mum outside and elbow touch after not being able to see her for a year. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her

I think you mean 100,000 Andy - notwithstanding a very high instance of covid compared to the rest of the Uk. Is there a very high Asian population in Bolton and if so is there an anti-vac thing going on. MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

my mistake - yes it's 100,000

Yes there is a large Asian population but no information about the racial bias of positive test is available.
The most annoying thing is that it is young adults under 30 that are testing positive, to them they are invulnerable, blow everybody else.

What can be done? Forced vaccination is a none starter, they don't believe the media about covids danger, all that matters is what their mates think. We have a 39 year old who isn't going to be vaccinated, despite the fact that his mum is extremely vulnerable - no immune system due to chemo Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her

I saw on BBC News 24 that in India there are people who cover their bare bodies in Cow dung and urine, leave it to set and then wash it off.

....... and they don't sing "Happy Birthday" whilst ding t !!

You have to remember a Cow is sacred, 'next to god'
