Manchester untited requires you to have the nhs app.

From the land of haribos.

They have put out a press release that they will only accept people into their games that have been jabbed, the test and you need the app to prove this if you are going to the game, checks will not take place against leeds this saturday, but will be implemented in future home games, meantime they urge people to get ready for the change. I was also surprised as I found out that man utd are on the world economic forum site.

What do you think of it and will it be the same with the other clubs? What happens if one doesnt have a smart phone or an older person who might not have a phone?

Good to see football clubs taking a lead on public health matters.

Out of interest, why would it surprise you to see a massive multinational business like Man U on the World Economic Forum?

Mixed thoughts really. Predominantly because I don't believe they will be able to check 70k every home game plus they need to provide those who as you either don't have the technology or don't want to have their medical info on an unsafe app. Zambia

I believe Ciddy are buying up vaccines for all their supporters to ensure they are inoculated before attending the Emptyhad. Last I heard they had over 100 vaccines ready to go. The club issued a statement saying that 100 jabs could be seen as excessive but they wanted to ensure all supporters were jabbed.

Also the mighty La Berrichonne de Chateauroux

which proved no problem last Friday for me because I’m double jabbed and happy to be so and the new rules obviously work because we are top of the league.

The world is getting smaller for the non vaxxed I’m afraid to say Shag.

The app didn't seem unsafe to me when I registered... (I studied cybersecurity and user authentication as part of my previous job). As for checking 70k+, if they've got time to check tickets on the way in then they've got time to check a quick flash of an app or letter, surely?

We should have joined France, Germany and the other countries that have introduced the small extra restrictions on gatherings at bars, clubs etc. Any delay also delays the help it can provide.

Whilst outdoors is less risky, congregating people present the potential for exposure to the virus. The numbers of infected people needs to be reduced, before autumn, when schools, unis etc return and people return to spending more time indoors.

It's just vaccines or restrictions that we have as our tools to reduce the impact and costs for us all, as I keep saying. There's no magical solution, when we need to prevent a virus that is spreading because of our behaviour. If your behaviour isn't helping us to beat this, then you'll need to change it or be subject to restrictions that limit the danger that you are adding to society

Don't call me Shirley... Yes you'd think so... Just wonder how they didn't manage to do that at Wembley for 60k fans for our euro match and a showcase test event? I'm guessing it's not so straight forward or they'd have easily done so there?

It'll last 1 season and when they realize they have lost revenue from season ticket holders they will remove these restrictive measures.

All about money in the end

It may be 100% secure and let's be honest it's not a backdoor to your bank details.

But the app is just poorly designed and has no scope for simple things such as walls and floors... we've had 28 out of 37 staff told to isolate due to their neighbour that they have never spent any time around but have a room that shares a wall to them

"It nonsense effectively you outside for 90minutes will they be offering refunds to season ticket holders who don’t or can’t meet criteria "

Anyone who has ever been to Old Trafford knows that at least half the stadium does not spend the whole time stood outside. Massive, congested queues at half time for drinks and food, loads of people hanging around indoors near the food kiosks before kick-off, then when you are outdoors you're still squashed in like sardines by the tiny seats. Not to mention the fact that most supporters arrive by public transport, so it's not just about when they arrive at/are in the ground, but when they are crammed in on buses, trams, trains and coaches too.

Measures are sensible and I welcome them. Those who don't have a smartphone will have plenty of time to prepare and older supporters/season ticket holders will no doubt receive advice from the club, those who simply don't want to abide won't end up going. On that note I think we can stop with the faux-outrage now.

I'm guessing here but as they have around 50k ST holders it'll be something they'll ask for in advance and once only, from then every game is ticketed so I imagine you'd have to submit proof at the time of purchase.

I could be wrong of course and it is United so plenty of room for then to fuck up it, I've experienced their organisation skills when I used to go!

"However, no software or application can be completely secure. If you have any concerns that your account could have been compromised (for example, someone could have discovered your password), follow the instructions on NHS App help and support."

So there's no evidence that specifically it has a vulnerability that marks it out as any different to any other app, ie that it's not very safe?

It may be 100% secure and let's be honest it's not a backdoor to your bank details.

But the app is just poorly designed and has no scope for simple things such as walls and floors... we've had 28 out of 37 staff told to isolate due to their neighbour that they have never spent any time around but have a room that shares a wall to them

You're talking about a different app

There's a new nhs app that uses what to track and trace your movement and proximity to other users?

So the gov have now wasted how much money on a faulty service

Lol ok

Are you saying the "pingdemic" didn't happen and wasn't caused by a faulty system?

So spending the millions on that was a wise move right? And then making a second app which again would not have been made for free rather than upgrading and fixing the 1st....

I don't see how that's a laughing matter

I'm saying if you want to think whatever it is you think, go right ahead, but it's a different app. This one doesn't ping at all as far as I'm aware."

Ive worked in software development, updating the already existing app to have a certificate of inoculation would be 2/3 or more of the cost of creating a new app to do the same thing. (I know that sentence is broken)

My only point here is that the app in question has absolutely nothing to do with the so-called pingdemic. Nothing at all.

I found your discussion of the "pingdemic" inappropriate in context given that we're not talking about the same thing, suggesting that you're not aware of some of the pertinent details. Hence my first comment - it's a different app.

Do you mean the certificate of inoculation that I can already easily access from within the NHS app? That one?

They already had an application that is used for checking your medical records, ordering repeat prescriptions, making appointments to see your GP and suchlike NHS matters. Nothing to do with the covid tracing and pinging.

The NHS simply made a small update to this existing application to add a page that displays vaccination status without showing other details of medical history. I agree that if it had been government driven it would probably have cost £100 million, straight into the pockets of some consultancy firm owned by a cabinet ministers brother; however this was implemented under the direction of the NHS, piggybacked on top of the existing system for secure access to your NHS records, and probably involved no more than one afternoon of coding time.

I didn't know of a 2nd app... how many people do you think also don't know.. or do you think I am the only person because you know so everybody must...?

So the mention of "the app" and not "the new vaccine passport app" led me to believe it was the same app that has caused mass panic and unnecessary isolations across the country was kind of valid.

Thank you for the confirmation of a 2nd app but you didn't need to be all passive aggressive about it.

One afternoon of coding time!!!

Possibly only if they used Stack Overflow (if you know you know )

But the app is just poorly designed and has no scope for simple things such as walls and floors... we've had 28 out of 37 staff told to isolate due to their neighbour that they have never spent any time around but have a room that shares a wall to them

You're talking about a different app

There's a new nhs app that uses what to track and trace your movement and proximity to other users?

So the gov have now wasted how much money on a faulty service

Lol ok

Are you saying the "pingdemic" didn't happen and wasn't caused by a faulty system?

So spending the millions on that was a wise move right? And then making a second app which again would not have been made for free rather than upgrading and fixing the 1st....

I don't see how that's a laughing matter

I'm saying if you want to think whatever it is you think, go right ahead, but it's a different app. This one doesn't ping at all as far as I'm aware.

Ive worked in software development, updating the already existing app to have a certificate of inoculation would be 2/3 or more of the cost of creating a new app to do the same thing. (I know that sentence is broken)

So yeah waste of money, just like all of the stupid moves government's are making with our money

They already had an application that is used for checking your medical records, ordering repeat prescriptions, making appointments to see your GP and suchlike NHS matters. Nothing to do with the covid tracing and pinging.

The NHS simply made a small update to this existing application to add a page that displays vaccination status without showing other details of medical history. I agree that if it had been government driven it would probably have cost £100 million, straight into the pockets of some consultancy firm owned by a cabinet ministers brother; however this was implemented under the direction of the NHS, piggybacked on top of the existing system for secure access to your NHS records, and probably involved no more than one afternoon of coding time.

Thank you that has cleared up a lot of my unknowing on the matter, I haddnt been aware of it.

"It nonsense effectively you outside for 90minutes will they be offering refunds to season ticket holders who don’t or can’t meet criteria

Anyone who has ever been to Old Trafford knows that at least half the stadium does not spend the whole time stood outside. Massive, congested queues at half time for drinks and food, loads of people hanging around indoors near the food kiosks before kick-off, then when you are outdoors you're still squashed in like sardines by the tiny seats. Not to mention the fact that most supporters arrive by public transport, so it's not just about when they arrive at/are in the ground, but when they are crammed in on buses, trams, trains and coaches too.

Measures are sensible and I welcome them. Those who don't have a smartphone will have plenty of time to prepare and older supporters/season ticket holders will no doubt receive advice from the club, those who simply don't want to abide won't end up going. On that note I think we can stop with the faux-outrage now. "

"They have put out a press release that they will only accept people into their games that have been jabbed, the test and you need the app to prove this if you are going to the game, checks will not take place against leeds this saturday, but will be implemented in future home games, meantime they urge people to get ready for the change. I was also surprised as I found out that man utd are on the world economic forum site.

What do you think of it and will it be the same with the other clubs? What happens if one doesnt have a smart phone or an older person who might not have a phone?

Mixed thoughts really. Predominantly because I don't believe they will be able to check 70k every home game plus they need to provide those who as you either don't have the technology or don't want to have their medical info on an unsafe app. Zambia

Where's the evidence that the NHS app is unsafe?

From the gov website...

"However, no software or application can be completely secure. If you have any concerns that your account could have been compromised (for example, someone could have discovered your password), follow the instructions on NHS App help and support."

So there's no evidence that specifically it has a vulnerability that marks it out as any different to any other app, ie that it's not very safe?

That's a different app - there's this NHS app and the NHS Covid 19 app, which uses Bluetooth etc to determine if you're near to an infected person.

The NHS app is the 1 used to display your vaccination details, ie which vaccine and when given. This is the one used for entry checks to places, provided as a screen display and QR code.

Possibly only if they used Stack Overflow (if you know you know ) "

Not going to take very long to add one more page on top of code that already has all the features for secure delivery of the raw information from NHS systems to your phone. The largest parts of the job would have been specifying the requirement, verifying operation, and the change control to roll out the new version. The actual coding would be a relatively minor task.

And yes i know Stack Overflow (yet to find any useful information on there), my job involves software development including network protocols, kernel drivers, real time device control, communication between heterogeneous CPUs both tightly coupled on a single board and distributed across a local area network, creating complete software stacks for small auxiliary control processors, and yes, the occasional bit of webpage hacking. That's just in the last twelve months.

No you're quite right that it's not trivial. However if you have the complete framework there already from existing pages of an app, it's much easier to just fix the specific details for the new information without having to re-invent any wheels. I am of course assuming that the existing client/server protocols were sufficient to handle the newly required info without any change, and that the code base libraries included all relevant features.

Much of the scope of the job would depend upon whether the requirement was sensibly specified by someone with awareness of the existing application and its capabilities, or whether it was written by a politician

Shag

I believe Ciddy are buying up vaccines for all their supporters to ensure they are inoculated before attending the Emptyhad. Last I heard they had over 100 vaccines ready to go. The club issued a statement saying that 100 jabs could be seen as excessive but they wanted to ensure all supporters were jabbed.

Quick irrelevant question

How many seasons is it now since ManUre finished above City "

Granted a few years but Ciddy are not a stadia filler..........they shelved plans to up the capacity of the Emptyhad?

There is only one team that constantly draws capacity Covid testing and it ain’t the Ciddy boys!

Glad you think so.

It exists.

Not questioning it's existence just it's necessity... if I have paid for a new car I don't think i really need to pay more for a 2nd car that has less features, which if the new app isn't a track and trace that's what they've done.

It's another hole to throw money in, like the Dyson mask debacle

My only point here is that the app in question has absolutely nothing to do with the so-called pingdemic. Nothing at all.

If you think I agree with the government's policies or money spent then you're mistaken."

Wouldn't it have been more helpful to say which app is which rather than this?

Not questioning it's existence just it's necessity... if I have paid for a new car I don't think i really need to pay more for a 2nd car that has less features, which if the new app isn't a track and trace that's what they've done.

It's another hole to throw money in, like the Dyson mask debacle

My only point here is that the app in question has absolutely nothing to do with the so-called pingdemic. Nothing at all.

If you think I agree with the government's policies or money spent then you're mistaken.

Wouldn't it have been more helpful to say which app is which rather than this?"

If that's to me I would have needed to know a 2nd app existed beforehand as far as I was aware the passport was an addition to the nhs track and trace not the general nhs app. So when I got told it wasn't the T&T app without any detail I assumed it was a whole new app and my previous knowledge of it being an addition to any app was wrong....

Shit we learn along the way huh

"We should have joined France, Germany and the other countries that have introduced the small extra restrictions on gatherings at bars, clubs etc. Any delay also delays the help it can provide.

Whilst outdoors is less risky, congregating people present the potential for exposure to the virus. The numbers of infected people needs to be reduced, before autumn, when schools, unis etc return and people return to spending more time indoors.

It's just vaccines or restrictions that we have as our tools to reduce the impact and costs for us all, as I keep saying. There's no magical solution, when we need to prevent a virus that is spreading because of our behaviour. If your behaviour isn't helping us to beat this, then you'll need to change it or be subject to restrictions that limit the danger that you are adding to society "

"They have put out a press release that they will only accept people into their games that have been jabbed, the test and you need the app to prove this if you are going to the game, checks will not take place against leeds this saturday, but will be implemented in future home games, meantime they urge people to get ready for the change. I was also surprised as I found out that man utd are on the world economic forum site.

What do you think of it and will it be the same with the other clubs? What happens if one doesnt have a smart phone or an older person who might not have a phone?

It'll last 1 season and when they realize they have lost revenue from season ticket holders they will remove these restrictive measures.

All about money in the end"

Mixed thoughts really. Predominantly because I don't believe they will be able to check 70k every home game plus they need to provide those who as you either don't have the technology or don't want to have their medical info on an unsafe app. Zambia

Where's the evidence that the NHS app is unsafe?

From the gov website...

"However, no software or application can be completely secure. If you have any concerns that your account could have been compromised (for example, someone could have discovered your password), follow the instructions on NHS App help and support."

So there's no evidence that specifically it has a vulnerability that marks it out as any different to any other app, ie that it's not very safe?

It may be 100% secure and let's be honest it's not a backdoor to your bank details.

But the app is just poorly designed and has no scope for simple things such as walls and floors... we've had 28 out of 37 staff told to isolate due to their neighbour that they have never spent any time around but have a room that shares a wall to them

You're talking about a different app

There's a new nhs app that uses what to track and trace your movement and proximity to other users?

So the gov have now wasted how much money on a faulty service

Lol ok

Are you saying the "pingdemic" didn't happen and wasn't caused by a faulty system?

So spending the millions on that was a wise move right? And then making a second app which again would not have been made for free rather than upgrading and fixing the 1st....

I don't see how that's a laughing matter

I'm saying if you want to think whatever it is you think, go right ahead, but it's a different app. This one doesn't ping at all as far as I'm aware.

Ive worked in software development, updating the already existing app to have a certificate of inoculation would be 2/3 or more of the cost of creating a new app to do the same thing. (I know that sentence is broken)

So yeah waste of money, just like all of the stupid moves government's are making with our money

Glad you think so.

My first comment was that it's a different app. Apologies, yes, I got frustrated, but I don't think my clarification of the issue at the beginning warranted what followed.

There was nothing wrong with how the person spoke. He was speaking without the knowledge that there were two APPs as it wasn't explained or clarified by you as to which one was which

It was explained by someone else who was not frustrated . Maybe log off or don't post if frustration is caused by someone not knowing there are two Apps

Many industries have been fucked over by lock down. Including football. So I suspect many companies will look to do things that help reduce the risk of it happening again. Or create a narrative as to why they are exempt.

I swing one way then another, one minute I think like you , the companies are making the decisions themselves and it is for the safety of everyone and hopefully will mean stadiums will be able to keep going this season , but the next I think but what about choice for the people who don't want vaccinating.

I think it can be done though, I know there will be teething problems but it will just mean people need to get there a bit earlier to show the phone plus their ticket

I'm double jabbed, went out clubbing at the weekend. Me and my friends all took a test before we left the house. Took a test before going out for dinner last night and it was negative. Will be taking a further test in a few days just to double check. Also still wearing mask on public transport, in taxis and anywhere that requires me to (not possible to wear them in a club obviously)

It's fine if you think some double jabbed people don't care, aren't testing and are just generally throwing caution to the wind. But don't lump all of us into that statement

No, there would have been a lot lot more deaths. If you go look at any graph of the covid deaths over the last 18 months, you will see that it's got steep rises, followed by slow falls. The _only_ thing that stopped those steep rises from just carrying on upwards was lockdowns. The big tragedy is that in each case, if we had locked down earlier the fall would have started earlier, the lockdown could have been much shorter because the death rate wouldn't have so far to fall, and many thousands of people would not have died. On the first lockdown the downward slope is about 4 times slower than the upwards, so if we had locked down even one week earlier, we could have shortened the lockdown by a full month and saved maybe 20 thousand lives.

If not for the mask mandates, social distancing restrictions, successive lockdowns, and eventually vaccinations, then sometime round about June 2020 we would have reached the point of saturation where almost every person in the UK would have been exposed to covid, every hospital bed would be filled by covid patients. The low death rate of approximately 1% that can be achieved when those that need it can get hospital care would have risen to 5% or higher, also every person needing hospital treatment for any other reason would not have received it. Most of the country's infrastructure would have closed down as there would be too many critical staff being ill. With the resulting chaos, we could expect most households to have no running water or power, sewerage systems to fail, diseases such as cholera to spread, and the food supply chain to break down. There would be a certainty of at least 1% of the population dead just from covid, but several times as much as this again from all the other failures of normal societal systems. My best guess - between 1 million and 10 million dead.

None of this did happen though, precisely and only because of masks, distancing, lockdowns, and eventual vaccines.

That 99.9973 seems to be u20s based on illinois. (At least from a quick Google) of a very specific number.

And whenever I've looked at what counts as orexaiting conditions it includes things like obesity and iirc learning difficulties !

They are not testing ignoring warning signs and if anything more likely to be spreaders. Vaccinated or unvaccinated should not determine what a person can or can not do "

That’s a huge generalisation, and assumption. I’m double jabbed and test twice weekly, I’ve also not been to a pub, a restaurant, or indeed a football match since they were closed in the first wave of restrictions.

Out of interest, why would it surprise you to see a massive multinational business like Man U on the World Economic Forum?"

What about other vax against other infectious diseases huh...TB, measles, mumps, rubella, hep, polio, hiv all much more deadlier. Or is Covid the only disease now lol

Seems reasonable, I guess most of their players will need to jet off home after the game and could do without several thousand pings.

Why is it that we don’t have a worldwide pandemic in measles, TB, rubella, polio etc. do you think?

Also, if you think you can catch HIV or hepatitis from sitting next to someone who has one of those diseases then you really are a lost cause.

Possibly because we don't have 25 thousand new cases of those appearing every day? That for TB, measles, mump, rubella, hep, polio successful vaccine campaigns have been carried out over many years so that we no longer get epidemic of them? That the only one from your list that we don't have a vaccine for, you can't catch just by somebody coughing next to you while you're queueing to get into the football ground?

Or maybe it's all those others that are the actual killers going round, maybe there isn't really any such thing as covid, maybe it's just something that has been dreamed up as a political scam and every single country on earth has gone along with so as to cause inconvenience to football spectators...

I attended the first home game at Chelsea last week where we had to show proof of double vaccination or a negative lateral flow test.

Via the NHS app (not track and trace) you can select your passport and download it or have a QR to be scanned on entry. Via the app it only lasts for a small period of time.

If you call 119 they will send a paper passport for you.

I will say that we had ours on our phone. The issue being that 40 thousand plus people trying to get an internet connection at the same time caused issues accessing the app.

We now have paper versions. The other way would be to screenshot your app scan.

As was suggested further up logically it makes sense for your club to update your season ticket to show your vaccination status. The issue with this of course is when people pass their tickets to someone else if they are not attending the match.

I have away season tickets also, and as yet have not received any notification as to what we have to show at The Emirates or Anfield this month.

I guess lots see it as an infringement of civil liberties to have to show proof etc. I think for most of us though we are just glad to be able to get back to being in the ground after the last 18 months of only having the luxury of being able to attend a handful of games during the pandemic.

From a purely security aspect, having better control of the people entering major stadia and events and concourses around them is surely a necessary and a good thing. Including passing season tickets / tickets to someone else. But.... As the flagship test event england at Wembley at the euros showed only too well... There was a catastrophic failure of the entry points into the Stadia, the ticketing, the covid status and so on.... So whilst there is the ability to scan or bio metrically check people and their covid status / health status / etc... At entry points and turnstiles.... I'm kind of assuming it's beyond our abilities to do it efficiently right now.

The app didn't seem unsafe to me when I registered... (I studied cybersecurity and user authentication as part of my previous job). As for checking 70k+, if they've got time to check tickets on the way in then they've got time to check a quick flash of an app or letter, surely? "

Unfortunately, there have been significant deaths due to Covid and many thousands more who have had organ damage and failures - these may be permanent and be the reason that those people don't survive a future problem that comes along. Possibly they could get reinfected, with the same organs, even their brain, getting injured.

But Covid's serious illness and injury is also not complete, unless we include Long Covid. You didn't mention, nor include it in your statistics - I assume because your post is reminiscent of all the social media/antivax sites and their memes, that try hard to downplay Covid. The reality and the solutions that we have are very different to the angry propaganda stories they keep trying to force us all to conform with.

You can look at the published scientific evidence, as I do, rather than follow government announcements, which often differ a little.

As mentioned in that post you quoted, the damage is far, far greater than just those many people who have lost their lives -

Organ damage and failure and,

Long Covid

These are amongst them.

In 18 months we have health professionals around the world, including many medical trials, that have researched treatments for Covid. These have helped to save lives in the millions, including Dexamethasone in the Recovery trial - a gold standard research trial, that demonstrated significantly reduced mortality rates at 28 days following treatment. Those treatments, we can all gratefully welcome, as they have considerably improved the survival rates. They don't lessen the significance of the damage this virus causes though.

Another point - the levels of impact upon our society were very severe. This included hospitalisations from Covid overwhelming the NHS, jeopardising treatments for other conditions. Waiting lists are now phenomenal and may take some years to clear.

We've just had restrictions or vaccines to help us to recover from the damage this has done in our lifestyles. Infection levels have more recently got very high but the high uptake of the vaccines has ensured that hospitalisations and deaths have been suppressed.

Can I just say. After reading this and the anti Manchester United rhetoric from some people is a joke.

The announcement was actually made by the government for all large locations including football stadiums and nightclubs, and most premier league teams will be implementing this is some form

There is no official word from the club how this is going to work as I have been in direct communication with the supporters trust raising my concerns, and how it will work for fans from Scotland / Northern Ireland and those supporters from scandaniva and Ireland that do come and don’t have nhs app.

We can quote figures and statistics all day long. There is no denying this is, hopefully, a once in a generation event. From the uk perspective it would be totally unacceptable for the government to defend the scenes in northern Italy at the start of this pandemic. Ten years of underfunded social services could not cope so draconian measures were enacted. The situation could have been ameliorated by proper planning and investment in a decent health care response.

They may work it a number of ways Shag, including similarly to flights, where people upload official government confirmation info, in advance of being given permission to attend. Final checks may be made, similarly to check-in agents doing that, to permit or deny boarding to the seats.

The tickets have a good markup, so I'm sure they can afford to resource it.
