Amber Alert quickly cancelled
As anyone with a phone knows, an Amber Alert went out at 18:20 Sunday, but was cancelled quickly when the girls mentioned in the alert were found.
Suggestion to the authorities: if an alert is cancelled, maybe have a different “all clear” signal to follow?

I expect these alerts more often in the near future.
I found it aberrant that they used this for a covid warning last week. It’s Orwellian, inescapable fearmongering.

I agree. It wasn’t meant for the kind of warning they did last week. It’s for sudden things on which we’re meant to take immediate action.
