But the daftest bit of all is . . . they don't tell you who it is!!
So we'd best keep away from everyone incase they are the infected individual.
Erm . . . isn't this what we're doing anyway??
Nope, other Countries are doing much better than we are.
They have much reduced Deaths and are far more economically active.
We here in the UK are not doing well.

Re: Contact Tracing on smartphones
So, if I have this right from the information in this thread, this partially-implemented app MIGHT tell you that you MIGHT have come in contact with some passer-by who MIGHT be infected with Covid-19, but doesn't identify who it was or exactly when it was. However, vague though this information may be, it doesn't help out in any way with people who do not own a smartphone or with people who refuse to install the app anyway. Gosh, the power of technology!

Re: Contact Tracing on smartphones
Swimmy, if you believe that we are responsible for messing up our children's lives why did you not do something sooner?you tell us that your children have good jobs, and despite Guys poor health you have said that he still has his business, so in comparison to many other children they should be better off than most.
When I was 35 my dad died so I looked after my mum and 2 younger sisters. It isn't about how much money you give them, it is about caring for them so i paid for both of their weddings and made sure they always had food and a roof over their heads.
If Guy had been my son & earned £100K a year the wisest thing you could have done is to persuade him to invest the money....maybe in a house.
We all love our families and want them to do well, but the best thing we can teach them is how to provide for themselves.
The problems of the near future are probably the responsibility of CCP, who it seems were experimenting with viruses. If they have created Covid 19, it is them that are messing up your childrens lives... not us or the government !

Re: Contact Tracing on smartphones
I have heard some daft things since this plague began ... but this 'Apps' thing is one of the daftest.

I mark every marketing e mail as spam.... Because i never willingly have given my e mail address to the people sending them.
You would have to be very naive, if you thought they were profiling you for you own benefit!:-d
