Oh dear. Got out of bed on the wrong side again?
I have read the thread and the linked articles. I'll ask again, why a test using Jailbroken iPhones is meaningful in this discussion? The number of Jailbroken iPhones is so small as to be statistically meaningless. Apple is also constanting plugging the exploits that allows the Jailbreak in the first place.
It seems that you were trying to demonstrate that the Government's decision to write their own App even when they were told it would not work as intended was a good one and not just another example of "we know better"?

As Seph says the numbers infected up to now would be over 10 million (possibly as high as 20 million). Herd immunity would be achieved sometime in the next 2-6 months under the present conditions. Pubs open in time for the office Christmas parties.

There seems a lot of talk about "Herd immunity" but as yet, there seems no scientific consensus that immunity is indeed guarenteed and if it is, how long it lasts for.
It would be a bold move to relax the lockdown based on herd immunity when it does not exist in the form most people might understand it.
