V WORRYING

Means positivity for pillar 2 is 4.1%

Given the recent study on poor isolation discipline (11%) even if contacted by T & T it just feels a mess not least due to appalling PH messaging, with Hancock saying today isolation is a personal choice!!!!

Only 50-60% of contacts are reached.

Very good assessment here of the test and trace regime
