WHY DECENTRALISED SHOULD WIN
This is going back to the Apple-Google docs to show the tech advantage “baking in” tracing at OS level.
Overview:

When the systems are updated, users are *prompted* to opt in to proximity notifications.
#tracingapp
This means – everyone is asked.
You don’t have to find the App in the App Stores.
All govt has to do is remind people to update your phone.
In contrast @NHSX approach means building a vast infrastructure, then pushing their #TrackingApp as best they can. Much harder for user adoption.
Then, there are all the cross-border issues. These don’t go away, but it is much easier to handle.
Interesting to see how much the Northern Ireland border issue is being picked up, but it’s also true that international travel may continue to be an important vector for infection.
Having a really easy way to track across borders may well be important. #tracingapp #Covid19UK
