3 things to beat the virus

What has happened to the world class tracing system? We were being told their success rate which was falling weekly.

Maybe it's not such a jolly good system after all!
Has anyone had any experience of this 'World Class track and trace system'? Towards the end of last month my son-in-law showed symptoms, so he went for a test which was positive, so he gave them details of all the people he had been in contact with. He isolated at home in a spare bedroom while my daughter looked after their two kids in the rest of the house. After a couple of days she started showing symptoms, so did a postal test which also came back positive. She hadn't left the house so was only in contact with the two kids. SIX DAYS after his result, she got a text from track and trace telling her she needed to isolate as she had been in contact with someone who had tested positive!!! She was sensible and didn't leave the house in those six days, but she could easily have been out and about spreading the virus for nearly a week. It's easy to understand why cases were rising rapidly at that time if this is typical of the system.
