A British woman says she was threatened with police visiting her home if she did not download the NHS coronavirus ‘track and trace’ app.
LockdownSkeptics.org features the story of a woman from Skipton who tested positive for COVID-19 and immediately self-isolated.
“This was followed by “in excess” of 20 text messages demanding that she download the NHS App. She did not do so since she doesn’t want to be followed round by it and she’s self-isolating anyway. She was then telephoned by the Test and Trace system and the caller threatened her with a “police check at your address if you do not download the app.” Utterly furious, she ended the phone call and is waiting to see what happens next.”
The NHS ‘track and trace’ app is completely voluntary and authorities have no grounds to enforce its adoption legally. This is yet another example of how bureaucratic control freaks are simply inventing laws and justifying the intimidation others by means of coronavirus hysteria.
As we previously highlighted, authorities appear to be deploying more draconian crackdown measures as more stringent lockdown measures are reintroduced.
This includes cases where police are quizzing people on what they are about to purchase before they enter grocery stores.
As of last night, England entered another debilitating nationwide lockdown that will last until at least December 1st.

Dump the phone.
Moral of the story: Don’t get tested if at all possible.
Yes, they have that cr*p in Canada. My husband wants me to download it but I will never do it.
We have enough Big Brother as it is.
Some fearful folks will get tested just because. If I don’t have a reason, nope. As an aside, I had a ‘telemed’ call with my primary at the VA and a recall from the nurse. She asked about flu shots and I declined. She doesn’t normally get one either from previous discussion. She was ‘required’ to get one this year. Hmmmm.
I bet the scu-Muslims are forced to use it!
Do I need to add the /s?
“Dump the phone” ...
Now that’s brilliant.
We should all invest in burner phone companies. Buy some, trash them....
Sure it is. Snort.
Some folks have opined that with a slo' joe administration, the china flu will magically go away or declared harmless. That's not true. The fear will be ratcheted up as an excuse to keep the lockdowns in perpetuity and to restrict travel.
I would not be surprised if, under president harris, trips to the grocers are curtailed and Amazon has a food delivery "business" waiting to take its place with the government imposing restrictions on the types and quantities of food and commodities one is allowed to receive in a week.
I may be wearing tinfoil but I am not kidding.
Threatened with a visit while self-isolating?
Invite them in for a cup of tea, cough, cough.
Where I live, I got tested twice. Negative.
I told my adult children to get flu shots but I added, “We currently don’t have a vaccine for Covid. But I’m not getting one. Let’s see how it works out for the others first. Don’t want or need to be a Guinea pig in some lab experiment.”
Unlike Canadians, I think that I have instilled a healthy mistrust of the government in my children. It’s the least I can do.

Oh no, not the dreaded POLICE visit!
Give the Police tea. Have a nice conversation. And you and the police will be happy.
Coming to American, post Trump!

I forget the name of the app, but it was downloaded on my wife’s smart phone in September, without her permission.
It showed a very boring month with 78 miles including two round trips to our HMO’s surgery center, where I had a minor same day procedure and the removal of stitches.
It showed us driving 10 miles for our anniversary brunch.
My wife nor I use FB nor twitter, and she had felt that our adult children, their spouses and grand kids were imaging how we were now being monitored.
Now she realizes it.
My phone and Ridgeline were so boring, we were not monitored nor recorded.
Funny thing is goggle thinks mrs rktman’s phone is mine. My locator is usually not on so cell tower pings are as close as they can get. I think. LOL! And goggle is so freakin’ insidious. It’s somehow hooked up to just about everything. Duckduckgo is what I usually use if I’m searching. Phone included. Then there are photos. Any pic Mrs rktman takes ends up in the goggle photo cloud since I have a gmail account. Screen shots, pictures. All there.
