Not all that much of it I'd imagine although I know they have been trialling a Covid test that gives far quicker results. Assuming that turns out to be a success that will help a lot.

All your points are good points but doing nothing is a far worse option than making the most of what we do have and trying to curb the infection rate.

I don't understand most peoples concerns about privacy when the majority of people have already given up their privacy freely to facebook, google, and other forms of social media that all know vastly more about individuals lives than the government would be able to obtain throught this app, even if I was prone to believing they would misuse it.

Respectfully I disagree. If you intend to introduce something at a point where existing public trust is low, while asking people to trust that what you introduce is a 'game changer' and it falters - then it's worse than not introducing it.

As it is, it's being pushed through, hastened through, to ease a return to work (which is extremely important) and to deflect attention away from noise about a SPAD.

And I expect public trust in a process reliant on App led by someone who has in recent memory presided over a monumental data breach, coupled with the NHS own recent history with cyber attacks (WannaCry) is rightly sceptical.

It will be, as you suggest, pretty crucial where public adherence to the messages are upheld (big if) and where all the issues I raised are addressed. If only the Government were focussed solely on this issue...
