🙏 to @amhoward01 for pointing out the pilot Johnson & Sunak were on was a different, more secret squirrel one:
And 🙏 to @fascinatorfun for pointing out they've decided to self-isolate after all, once the #optics had bit 'em both in the bum.
While my search wasn't exhaustive, it's interesting to note the 40,000 person 'Daily Contact Tracing Study' does not appear to be registered in any of the usual places: nihr.ac.uk/search-results…
