For clarification that is people you have had physical contact with not your phone contacts

Are you sure?

This will mean Isle of Wight residents can get a warning if one of their contacts contracts COVID-19, and be able to warn any of their contacts if they are infected with the virus

This is the third coronavirus (SARS, MERS) in 10 years that has jumped into the human population. Are they particularly prone to jumping species? Can we predict and prepare for the next?

I think that's why the bat lady was rooting around in caves in Southern China.
(Incidently it could have come straight to human from bat if there had been and intermediate stage from bat to pangilin and back again.)

it’s a load a crap they are trialling it in the isle of white but they have told them to download the app but stay at home , protect the nhs and save lives

how on earth can it be a pilot for post lockdown track and trace if everyone is staying in their house exactly like the rest of the U.K.

Piers Morgan's Covid-19 test negative...

He was just full of shit.

He didn’t need a test for that, as he’s always been full of shit..

I wonder if those unfortunate young people who died were fully checked to see if they actually did have undiscovered underlying conditions?

Some of the underlying conditions are pretty tame anyway including asthma or raised blood pressure. Many weren’t about to kick the bucket with Covid 19, although lots did have comorbidities

It would have to use a list of your phone contacts. How else are they going to be able to link us all up ?

Where are the residents from the care homes? They are the population I feel truly sorry for. They have been neglected, and that's not a comment about he UK but a comment internationally. They are the obvious target for the virus and yet even now no country seems to have worked out how to protect them. The other group badly affected are migrant workers.

Lots of them die every year from flu and nobody gives a shit. Lots of them die every year from neglect and loneliness and the same shit is not given. Lots of them have been living in care homes not fit for purpose, with the private company running it being paid a pittance by the authorities, in the name of ‘efficiency‘ and profit and still nobody cares.
It’s a strange world when we only value the elderly when they’re dying quickly, but not when they’re living horrible lives. If one thing good is to come out of this, I hope it’s that we, as a society, care about the elderly who are living, as much as we are claiming to care about those who are dying, and sort social care out once and for all.

Not sure if this belongs in the 'Todays shooting in America' thread..... But what the actual f*ck?

Yes every government has kicked social care into the long grass,it can't be ignored now,going forwards hopefully it will help future residents of care homes,i am very sorry the past and current ones were not helped more
