“ We don't need fancy expensive apps where people are going to be exposed to issues of data privacy," Newcastle University Centre for Excellence in Regulatory Science director Prof Allyson Pollock told BBC News.”

Sit at home then, buddy - you might be able to do your job from hime, but lots of people can’t.

Privacy issues FFS - Facebook, Google, GcHQ, every mobile provider already know everything

So it's a prerequisite that every citizen must have a smart phone, tovarich?

And a cat to attach it to.

There is no other way apart from compulsory tracking system on movements - manual contact tracing will fail miserably.

That should be the starting point - maybe later, much later things can be relaxed, but right now it’s race against time before proper economic collapse.

You're advocating locking people up and removing their human rights. If you want to live in a police state fella, go move to a suitable country. This is the UK - this is not how we roll.

There is no human right to endanger life of (many) others.

You get s free tin foil hat and get to watch on TV how others safely get back to the kind of society we may have lost forever.

And you will be able to change your mind - use Govt mandated app at all times, you csn wear your tin foil hat too, that’s ok.

Sit at home then, I am totally fine with those who refuse to use that app for safety of everybody have the right to stay at home.

Maybe tattoo a number on them somewhere too ... just to be sure

FFS, people in this country are so paranoid they want to live under a police state. Have you guys not been watching the police recently, and that's with only a little extra power - we do not want to give these muppets any more power.

No, I think it's just the one or two pillocks around here advocating for a police state and an end to civil liberties. Well that's what was being spouted before I put them on my ignore list and now only catch sight of their moronic drivel when someone quotes them.

Dedicated hardware device is needed, to be worn visibly to others and using traffic system to indicate if the person is Green, Amber or Red.

France urges Apple and Google to ease privacy rules on contact tracing | World news | The Guardian

FFS, give free phone for everybody when thus shut ends, until then forget about privacy of not being tracked

Centrica?

Centrica and blockchain??

Not in the same universe I would have thought...

[Paralytic]

This Government is too thick to see a resolution if it jumped up and down with a neon sign saying

RESOLUTION HERE!!!



So I would put your last penny on it...

Centrica?

[cojak]

If only there was a blockchain that provides a solution to this problem... and best of all, you're rewarded for the data whilst privacy is assured through the decentralised network.

Could name it, but not until I buy more of it...

2 billion phones cannot use Google and Apple contact-tracing tech | Ars Technica

Any tech reliant on mobile phones is likely to exclude those vulnerable people who most need to know.

Typical of this day and age that everyone thinks everything can be solved by an app.

Nothing is going to cover every possible scenario. However a mobile phone app to help contact tracing can easily be part of the puzzle and get you a significant amount of useful data. You then use other data sources as well to get the full picture
