What are you talking about?
- Both solutions use Bluetooth
- Apple doesn't allow apps access to Bluetooth in the background.
- Apple/Google came up with their own API to expose this functionality consistently across their devices in a way that does leak user data
- Government said No. We'll do our own.
- Everyone said that won't work. The government went ahead anyway
- Two months later it doesn't work.

I think there's a significant degree of ineptitude at the moment that we can see is having negative impact on the economy - like the app, track and trace, late lockdown, etc. Other politicians could undoubtedly do better here.
The 1980/81 and 2008/9 recessions caused a spike in UK government deficits. Whilst neither the Conservative Government in the 1980s or the Labour Government of the 2000s was perfect, these were global recessions...so the increase in debt was largely inevitable. (Less tax revenue, more social security payments.)

This includes having to register before going for a pint.

Re: Coronavirus
Germany's R number up to 2.88 mainly due to an outbreak at a meat factory. Be interesting to see their response in action - testing, tracing, isolating. Does it lead to an increased regional/national outbreak or do they get it under control and new infection rates reduce to the low levels of the 11th-15th June.

Re: Coronavirus
It strikes me that in the UK with 1300 new cases or thereabouts per day, if we allow too much assembly too soon it is a given that our R number will rise in such localities.

Re: Coronavirus
Spreading to that many people in what must be the space of a week, is not good.
Going to be fun for them tracing the contacts of the 7,000 employees and their families.
