It is in everyone's interests for the new system to work and it's not easy to set something like this up. Whatever anyone's reservations think everyone needs to do their bit to make this work.

It said on the news that if you have symptoms you have to have a test if positive go onto ap and it makes, phone nos and email addresses of people you've been in contact with. Then the 'trackers' will contact them to say you have to quarantine for 14 days. Potentially locking down smaller areas as opposed to the whole country.

Exactly this..... I really don't get this mind set.... People are wanting to go out and get a normal life back, government offer a solution, and they all like, nah I'm not doing that... Well then stay at home.... I'll be downloading the app, if it gives me my social freedom back, they can have my address and know my movements.... I got nothing to hide anyway, if they really that interested in my life, have at it, it's fairly standard and boring other than my kinky meets

This work will be carried out by jHub – a Ministry of Defence agency focused on supporting innovation across the armed forces. Once the data is ready for use, jHub will “securely share” it with NHSX.

There are issues too with non-compatibility with all phones, which the Govt has accepted.

That is, the operating system only works on specific operating platforms from a certain level & above. There are also issues with IPhones.

My phone lies in the "older connectivity" bracket, so the App won't work on mine.

Other systems used globally have been acceptable on all phones regardless of age, but the UK have gone for something far different, which isn't!

Plus, it's recognised that many older people don't even possess a Mobile phone, or if they do, it's a much older phone, which is not capable of downloading Apps.

The Govt recognise these system failures but doesn't as yet have any solution.

Download the App

Get texted to say that you walked past someone who says on their App they now have the virus

You get ordered to self isolate for 2 weeks

Come out of isolation and get text again that you've walked past someone else who now says they have the virus, ordered again to self isolate for 2 weeks

Then again

and again

and maybe again

I don't see the majority going for this App to be honest.

Its different in South Korea, they have full data on your bank Cards, your travel cards,and everyones phone, they can send a hit squad round to your house in a van within ten minutes of you leaving it. BTW, the UK app has basically been kicked into the long grass.

Reading the very clear instructions on the gov website, it all seems easy enough. Same principle as the bubble method, record who you are having close contact with just in case you get symptoms, then be prepared to share those contact details with a advisor after you develop symptoms and have a positive test result. I don't expect many of us will be getting that close to a stranger tbh for some time

If you test positive after standing on a busy tube train for over 15 minutes within two metres of several people you could have infected them. You phone this call centre but without a tracking App how could they trace the people near you on the tube ?

As I’ve haven’t been like Mr Cummings and travelled hundreds of miles following instincts, since March I only leave my house to walk my dog or go to our local supermarket. On both these very short times out the house I virtually never carry my mobile so to be honest unless they want to know in which room of the house I’m in not a lot of point down loading anything.

That's the fail part of the plan as its impossible, to know that. Will people try avoid public transport because of the close contact with lots of other strangers anyway, but that's not helpful for those who have no choice but to use it.

Like lockdown, it's about slowing the spread not eliminating the virus

Contacting 3 of 20 people you had contact with is better than none.

Baroness Dido Harding was appointed to head up the Governments's test and trace programme.

That be the same Dido Harding whose Wikipedia entry includes this choice paragraph:

‘In October 2015, TalkTalk experienced a “significant and sustained cyber-attack”, during which personal and banking details of up to four million customers is thought to have been accessed.[10] City A.M. described her responses as “naive”, noting that early on when asked if the affected customer data was encrypted or not, she replied: “The awful truth is that I don’t know”. Her “inflexible line” on termination fees was also criticised.[11] Marketing ran a headline, “TalkTalk boss Dido Harding’s utter ignorance is a lesson to us all”.[12] The Evening Standard noted that “It has been a tough week for TalkTalk boss Dido Harding, facing complaints from customers and calls for her head.”[13] The company admitted the hack had cost it £60 million and lost it 95,000 customers.
