By the way do not get too carried away by the low cases today without knowing the testing numbers from England as we will not for a couple of days sadly.

The winter weather may have hit the numbers it was possible to process. The news showed a lot of snow was around.
 
Only wrong by 99.86% - it cost £35m
There's the 'app', and the operation.

I know it's the Mirror, but...


Anyway, there was no good reason why they didn't take the open source app to begin with. It was proven tech, months before ours even got to the stage of being binned and completely rewritten.

In the scale of health service fuck ups it really is small beer. The "backbone for health" project in the early 2000s cost about £8bn and delivered virtually nothing.

Test and trace is a failure because they rely on people being truthful. They aren't.
Anyway its now delivering - only 9 months late but it is working now. Still needs a quarantine/isolate app to work properly.
 
Phenomenal numbers today regarding the vaccination, truly a great effort.

However banning travel is bittersweet. Sweet in that it’s the right thing to do, bitter that it’s 11 months too late.

I remember that one. Aside from the money the criticism is we waited six months for an app that could replicate the open source framework available at the start. Very predictable. And that the centralised contact centres were a big mistake. Where T&T was a success, it was because it was able to respond to localised outbreaks. There is more to that than just dialing a bunch of numbers. The local authorities were and remain perfectly poised to make it work. But Boris & Co insisted on building a big monolith, so they could touch it and whisper 'Big Data'. Absolute folly.

No one does cargo cult management like Government advisors. They have one idea they want to apply to everything, no matter that it is strictly contraindicated for the task. The brand is everything. It's there to create a mystical reverence amongst the bourgeoise dilletante classes.
