Track & Trace
« on: 28 September 2020, 17:29:11 »

Can’t wait to download it. It runs as smooth as a Morris Marina and with as many faults, so I can probably incur at least £10k in fines for failing to self isolate after being wrongly advised of being ‘in the vicinity’ of a Covid contact. ::)

I went to Liverpool Heart and chest hospital this morning for a follow up echocardiogram and an electrical trace.  A bought a coffee, which was a bit stupid because you should wear face masks in the waiting room, but as I went to leave the cafe area, the lady asked me if I'd scanned the code on the wall. 

Well no. I've not downloaded the app.
Then I got to thinking, well, this is not where you want to down load it. In a hospital. There's bound to be someone here with it.

What is the parameter for your uk app to trigger ?

Is it 15 minutes or more  within two metres?

I got asked today about whether a I had downloaded the Track & Trace app by HR in work as I am a Dept Head. Told them that if they can get it to work on the phone in my hand then I happily would.

The phone in question is a iPhone 4S with IOS10 (I think).

I actually use it for listening to music in work but they do not need to know that. 😄

I`m  confident that as much thought & planning that went  into the world beating Morris Marina, has been applied to the  NHS Track & Trace app  :-X

I downloaded it, seems to work ok, the bigger issue is the morons in cafes saying it doesn't work and has limited users when the QR codes they are displaying are for independent track and trace websites (e.g. Debenhams!)  ??? ::)

I have confidence in me and my family to do the right thing, the app appears to work (you have to try these things to make a judgement), the government is pretty irrelevant and used as an excuse by to many  :y

I was told to install it on my work phone, for when I go into office (6 times last year, once so far this year) and its supposed to work when out and about,
I leave the phone in the car so the chance of it triggering is slim. ;D

They already know pretty much everything about you anyways, so no reason not to download it  :-X

Normally I would agree with you, but there have been some concerns at false positive contacts being reported. My phone won’t run it anyway.

As more and more places are demanding you scan the QR code for entry, I have now downloaded the app.  ::)

I am now being tracked and traced!  :-\
