More on the government’s Covid app on 08:48 - Sep 26 with 1129 views | Mullet | I donwloaded it reluctantly yesterday at my mate's encouragement. I'm not some 5G YouTruther, I just have a complete lack of faith in everything this government touches with their reverse Midas knack. However, we've had confirmed cases this week and have several students off isolating - some because they've been within 1m of the cases in class or they have family members with conformed cases. Others have symptoms and can't get a test. I would say that in every class I teach at least 15-20% are absent for one reason or the other. I've been doing a lot for the union aspect of health and safety and the DfE/PHE advice is changing a lot and seems illogical. Kids are no different to the general public, most are compliant, some are complacent, some careless. But there are pinch points where you are crowded in corridors etc and it feels horrible. It is a matter of time before I get it I think, unless I had it before the pandemic was really official and I suspect that was just a nasty virus. With cold and flus already showing up and spreading this winter is going to be rough. Staff have been off, some have had to look after kids sent home by other schools, others can't get a test. There is apparently a dedicated teacher site in Salford. No one knew about it, someone found it on a Facebook chat. To me it's appalling how disjointed and devil-may-care this government have been and that's been the biggest contagion. So many people have just given up on listening to them haven't they? | |

I’ve now deleted the app - I feel like it probably has potential to infringe on my liberty without actually providing much benefit in the current state. | | | | Login to get fewer ads

It's basically being renamed and slightly modified. Nobody apart from probably the CEO will lose their job as it will be a Machinery of Government change (I won't bore you with the details). From its inception in 2012 the entire public health community said it was the wrong way to go. So it's a bit of both. As they would say in Private Eye, matt halfcock is 94. | |

I'm the same. I'm not in the least bit worried about being tracked or anything sinister, I just don't trust this Government to deliver anything that works properly. There have been staggering levels of incompetence from the start and this app relies entirely on the user trusting that it works. | | | |

The inference in the official reply is that you can upload a test result from a test carried out by the Highly Efficient Private Sector. Facters' Old Blokes Friday Morning Focus Group concluded that we'll all being ignoring the App until it's use becomes unavoidable (i.e. you have to have it to visit Waitrose). Addendum We also thought it's a back door National Identity Card. [Post edited 26 Sep 2020 10:16]

Government data collection doesn't sit well these days, given cummings' misplaced faith in big data and superforecasting. I'm out. | |

Used it this morning to scan in at a cafe. Poor bvggers were seriously stressed. People ignoring the signs on the floor, masks but stood cheek to jowel and pushing past. When they did ask people to scan in they got a mixed response and seemed w(e)ary of it too. I think it's going to take people time or a much better effort to make it work. | |
