Listen tool . I posted it as it was a strange coincidence.
That is all.
Yes I know & I responded as a bit of funQuote:

Can anyone tell me what good the new test and trace system is going to do? I can see nothing other than a total waste of time and money.
Test and trace is about identifying people who are or might be infected and then asking them to isolate. That would reduce the risk of transmission and ultimately the number of people who die.Quote:

It’s a very good idea and definitely not a waste of money.Quote:

How can that be a waste?
I suppose it could break down then be useless
No, I get what it's supposed to do but it seems pointless.Quote:

It makes no sense.
Any contacts I can't identify (say someone sat next to me on a bus) will be untraceable by the 'tracers' anyway.
I just don't see the benefit of adding this additional expensive layer of 25,000 tracers at all.
Can we trust people to contact others and have the tests?Quote:

If not, I would imagine that giving the ID of people who you have been in contact with the ability to audit and ensure that they are following through with the isolation. I think Hancock indicated that they might have to move towards doing this if the public dont cooperate, and without the system working with government control, they wouldnt be able to manage this.
Hope it works, although Guardian report today highlighted many people pissed off with the way it is being managed. Hope they are wrong and its a success though for reasons Kerr gives above
