There is of course zilch evidence that apps make the slightest difference. |
Selective quotation of post. Check.
Ah once again the South Korean response “isn’t much use”.
How many have to die before you recognise ours “isn’t much use”? 100,000? 250,000?
Knowing you’ve been in a hotel where someone has Coronavirus I’d say is very useful information. Isolate, arrange a test, positive - get medical care if appropriate and isolate. Negative: move on with your live as normal. Easy.
Positive: those you’ve been in contact with between dates X and Y do the same. Negative: they continue on with their lives unaware.
In South Korea its bread and butter stuff. Here, it’s “too hard”.
“Not allowed in UK” - Government makes our laws.
You just don’t get it, do you?
