Apparently they have resolved the issue with it not picking up certain tests
A colleague downloaded it as she was going to Nandos, and got a text next day so now she has to self isolate for 14 days... I wasn't going to bother with it if I am honest

In the absense of abundant testing capacity, it's just going to be a farce, half of England will be on 14 day isolation constantly and 99% of them won't have Covid. Basically, a test and trace app is completely useless without quick and easy access to tests. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 28-09-2020 at 01:08 PM. |

In terms of the tech, there's no way for it to tell the difference... it doesn't operate optically so it doesn't "know" if there's a solid object between app-users or not . That is a very good point.

I just dont trust any of the tracing apps. I dont even like location being turned on my phone. I just have a real issue with being watched. Never done anything wrong I just dont like the idea of the world turning into george orwells 1984 which is funnily ironic being on a forum dedicated to Big Brother

a shop worker that has covid, could be wearing a mask and behind a perspex sheet and you would still have to isolate

However as an example, I live in a semi-detached house and it could in theory activate because of proximity to our neighbours through the wall - despite the fact that I can't ****ing stand them and haven't been within 10+ metres of them for over 5 years, other than with a wall between us . |

She is working from home so she can continue to work, just can’t go out until she gets a test

Question.
If I download this app and get told to self isolate is it a rigid 14 day isolation or just till I get tested and get the all clear. Hopefully. ?

What's the reason for not getting it, an ignorance is bliss view that you don't want to know you've been exposed to a covid case? Even if that means you might now be an asymptomatic spreader?
Or is it some anti-government, 'Big Brother' thing? |

thanks. I'm still quite reluctant to download it. It depends how long it would take to get a test. Probably ages. Sigh.

No its just purely cos I can't bear the thought of self isolating for two weeks.

I’ve not downloaded it but my flatmate has COVID and I’m self isolating so right now it has no purpose to me

No, you could potentially be off work for months...Go to work come in contact with someone, isolate go back and the next day get another text... Hang on... Maybe I'm being a bit hasty

Strange all I've heard about recently is how the government has failed in giving us a track and trace system but apparently people don't actually want one |
