Anyone up for a COVID Project Death March?

So 2K a day to tell minions to trace people and tell them there's nothing they can do but stay at home?

Yep.

The problem isn't the minions its the fact that:
1. The few people they are contract tracing they are contacting 20-40 times so people are blocking them after the xth time.

2. A lot of the data they are being given has important details missing so they can't contact people. For example if you have a carer you may only know their first name and the company they come from, but that is inadequate data for centralised test and trace as you need to give each individual persons phone number. However local councils can find out who people are because they things like council tax records and school rolls plus frequently work with the council areas next to them.

Inside IR35?

I would guess due to the officer side of things rather than the SDC side of things.

Mind you with this Government it could be that you will definitely be under Direction and Control.

The person who wins the contract will be the wife or husband of someone directly connected to the Tory party.

Crooks.

Perfect DOOM thread

I bet it was just a dummy job advert created to show that due diligence has been done. No doubt that job will be given to a Cummings pub mate or some such.

They could have just given GPs surgeries money to hire a few clerical staff to do the trace stuff for their patients.

It's mental how crap this all is.

Yeah, noticed this one on twitter.

Ah, it’s been pulled!
