Now the U.K. government is concerned about the #southafricanvariant of #COVID19. A month ago, when I got ill after getting off a plane from JoBurg, it took me 2 days to get through to @PHE_uk to suggest testing me for variant. They only sent a test until 2 weeks later
And when I asked about #TrackandTrace for co-passengers, given that I most likely got infected with the #southafricanvariant on the plane, I was told there was no need. To date, those on the flight with me has not been contacted
Also, I passed the infection on to another person, who, despite being my only contact, was not approached for testing for the variant. This suggests the figure of 100 or so #southafricanvariant cases in U.K. is likely a huge underestimate @bbchealth @BBCBreaking @globalhlthtwit

My daughter's class (London): teacher + at least 12 kids + nearly every member of those 12 families tested positive, including all of mine. At least 4 adults have been hospitalised. (Rant alert at the end of the thread) 1/
We weren't told to isolate until 5 days after schools broke-up, because test results for 1st child with symptoms took 4 days to arrive. 2/
Took 6 days for my test results to arrive, 5 days for the rest of my family. Impossible to follow up, 119 system has no track record of tests. Still no idea what the point of the call centre is. #trackandtrace call further delayed by 1 day. 3/

1-To keep schools open,economy going we need fit for purpose #TrackAndTrace

Spent 5 minutes this morning analysing track&trace data from 3-9 Sept

Was amazed at the extent of failure of current track&trace

Read through this thread to see what I mean

@KailashChandOBE
2-#SercoTestAndTrace proudly declares 73.8% of known contacts reached between 3-9 Sept

Does this means that maybe 26.2% of potential contacts not reached & hence not isolating?

Not really....... read on

@anilkjain61 @DrUmeshPrabhu @DrOKaneAgain @trentconsultant @helenbevan
3-#NHSTestAndTrace doesn't mention out of 18371+cases b/w 3-9 Sept it got close contact details from only 10653 cases

73.8% contacts it reached is infact 73.8% close contacts of 58% not all positive cases b/w 3-9 Sept

42% +cases close contacts it did not even tried to reach

Dominic Cummings gave £260m of your pounds to some mates of his.

Same mates who used your stolen Facebook data to profile floating Brexit voters by the 100s of 1000s

To build the English version of the NHS Covid19 tracing app

#TrackAndTrace
#TrackingApp
#TrackTrace
Instead of using the freely available tool kit that Apple/Google supplied to Governments worldwide that will help them create a track and trace app that respects your privacy and does not create a huge Government database

#TrackAndTrace
#TrackingApp
#TrackTrace
Cummings app will give him and his mates your data which they can then sell

Wonder why England doesn't use the global Apple/Google toolkit based apps?

Scotland, Wales and NI will have used the Google/Apple toolkit to make their apps

As @NHSX plunge ahead with the #trackandtrace app, here’s a helpful set of basic issues:

(1) “Self reporting” undermines trust in the app

Most “pings” won’t result in illness. If people know the reports aren’t reliable, they may conclude the app’s pings are junk. #covid19uk
(2) BlueTooth battery issues will persist

Despite government claims it is unlilkely @NHSX have fully solved this problem as the device will need to 'wake up'. Battery drain may be worst in commutes, in busy streets etc.

#trackandtrace #covid19uk
(3) The world is going the other way [1]

Most governments are going with Apple and Google’s baked-in solution. This makes solutions like the UK’s unable to work with most of the rest of the world.

Cross-border contacts get more important over time.
