I downloaded it and the Police came round within the hour and arrested me for a gold bullion robbery in London.

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! 

that's the work sorted for the next generation of psychologists and sociologists. Not this generation, as only the best of them might manage to remember how Rapunzel escaped from her cell. Of course only a very few of them will be competent enough to do it themselves

Much like the Track & Trace  expert roaming around our local shopping mall this evening.
 As ppl walked past him they all got the same up & down scanning treatment
Until he pushed his luck a little bit too far & one the local females gave the moron a happy slap across the face

Hope she washed her hand afterwards
there's a virus going about apparently

Hmm, I can’t find anyone saying that Bluetooth can accurately measure distance and direction, Indeed all the reports I can find suggest the opposite, so I remain very suspicious that this is accurate enough. Apple/Google are using Bluetooth LE for this App which is no more accurate. Even if I could use it I would not be confident in its reliability.

Mark, you have more confidence than me in anything this government does.

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 

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.

And what is the issue if there was a false contact?

You have to possibly isolate for 14 days for the better good of society?

There is no perfect solution with these things but, we have to do the best we can with what we have...........or face a prolonged issue with an out of control Covid.

I very much doubt we will go into another full lockdown as we cant afford it. Plus the rest of the world hasn't and we need to be aligned to them or businesses will drop like stones

I'm okay with that. I can work from home. But there are so many people who just won't get paid. If you were struggling to pay rent, would you care about the better good of society. 

Note that I have no solution, just highlighting why alot of people might not want to put society first. 

as an aside, my Brother in Law had a kidney removed in Feb due to it being riddled with cancer.  He's not had the all clear, because his scan keeps being cancelled, but he still decided to go back to work with the new term into a residential special needs school, because he needs the money, and the grade and position he has only gets him statuatory sick pay.  I offered to pay him not to go, but he reckoned it would be fine.  after 4 days he was sent home because there's been a member of staff and 2 kids with it, and they decided his recent medical history put him at risk. Because he's not "sick" they are paying him.
