It seems the "new" testing-cum-track and trace app that was launched this week is only compatible with the tests offered by third party companies, and not the actual NHS tests that the logo it has would suggest.
Whether this is because the Cabinet Office (Cummings) is centralising data collection of all those using the app, or it is something else. I have seen it suggested on Twitter that some users are seeing unusual uploading activty on their phones.
The app itself is not compatible with Apple or Android phones more that 5 years old. I have no provate mobile and my work one cannot download apps as I cannot input an e mail to link downloaded apps to.
Yesterday, over 6,800 new cases were confirmed, and by MOnday morning a quarter of the UK will be subjected to restrictions of one kind or another. For two nights, camera phone footage from Leicester Square show thousands of people milling around just after 22:00 once pubs and restaurants had closed, making a mockery of the Government-imposed curfew.
The desire to lockdown as late as possible is showing the lessons from March have not been learned, when such a delay caused 20,000 deaths. COVID deaths lag some weeks behind the infections; this will get worse.
The Government insisted that students fhould go back to college and university, with the result at Leeds University this weekend, thousands are locked down in their digs.
Another mindblowingly bad policy from the Government with a truckload of them.
