Pandemic!

[cojak]

Well, I’m contagious now.

The BBC drama about a flu/sepsis pandemic earlier in the year still lingers with me...

OK, I know many on here loathe the BBC and everything they do, but they are carrying out an experiment about a pandemic, starting today. If you download the app, it will anonymously track your movements over a 24 hour period, the more people who download it, the better the results.
The scientific researchers are trying to see how a flu virus would spread through the country and maybe come up with ideas on how to stop the spread


There’s an app for Android & iPhone.
BBC Four - BBC Pandemic

...and if you live in Haselmere, they are doing a 72 hour study.

I signed up yesterday and am now happily infecting people (except I haven't gone outside since activating the app)

The results are in: (you've got a couple of weeks left to watch this)

They managed to get a lot of people signed up, the results are in, but they are still gathering data, so anyone who wants to take part in a 24 hour study, please do. They are particularly interested in the over 60s and under 25s.
