UK: my wife handled a baby bat a couple of weeks ago that was found in a airbnb/hotel in the Lake District. No bites from it. This popped up in her newsfeed last night..... she is now at the hospital getting rabies shots (no symptoms luckily). The medical staff are treating it very seriously!

It is about monitoring and identifying all members of the public - "prove that you are over 16" creates a profile about you that they can track and use.

I have a G6 uk licence that I took after being almost busted for CBs (in the old days) and all my radios have been packed up and in the garage for decades. Computers/BBS/Internet took over. I enjoyed the tech side of the hobby rather than the convo.
