It's right here. By Downing Street's own admission we haven't reached stage 3 of their own covid alert level, which would be the next stage of easing down. We're at four still, but we're doing it anyway.


Perhaps if the journalists used their ample question time to raise it at the briefings we could get qualified scientific answers instead of wasting nearly a week on pointless shit.
 
Our current new case levels are 3 times the level of peak South Korea but wer'e deploying a lot of technology including the app (soon) and a lot of people at it. Here are two articles on how it works:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...w-south-korea-flattened-its-coronavirus-curve

I can't see people will accept this who think other civil liberties are not trumped by the right NOT to get I'll and die. But that discussion is for the political thread.
A working app may help but it is not necessarily crucial to the success of contact tracing, adequate numbers of decent tracers and a quick and reliable testing regime probably are.
