Well here's an interesting move.
Coronavirus lockdown: scientists challenge No 10 with rival advice on Covid‑19
The government’s former chief scientific adviser is convening a rival panel of experts to offer advice on easing the lockdown. Tomorrow Sir David King will chair the first meeting of the group, which is designed to act as an independent alternative to the government’s Scientific Advisory Group forwww.thetimes.co.uk
I'm an expert!Experts again!
There are so many experts around these days
...
I hear they are a new option on the co-op funeral plan.BTW
If ya gotta go, bling it up, go in style !
What are the chances that the UK will meet the 60% take-up rate for a tracking app. Very high, I would say, given the lack of understanding of personal privacy and the risks of data leakage prevalent in the online world.
Coronavirus tracking app: How will the COVID-19 contact tracing app work?
The federal government wants you to download an app. Critics say it's a surefire way to get our personal data stolen. Proponents say it will save lives. Here's the detail.www.smh.com.au
Why should I be concerned if peeps want to know about my movement as long as my freedoms are not restricted?
Also, we have technology to help us live better lives. If an application can help with tracing infection or spread of viruses whey should it not be applied?
I also feel we should all carry ID cards.
These kinds of consideration are valid but I'd say usually in totalitarian regimes that wish to protect themselves and feel they are under threat of losing power. I do not feel they are a threat to my personal freedom in the UK.
I may be naïve here in not seeing the dangers but thinking about it once the pandemic is over (assuming it exists) I can always remove the app.

And I want the telephone numbers and email addresses of every person you came into contact with plus those you 'hung out' with for more than 5 minutes.
I want that into a searchable database with a nice front end to show me all your contacts, on a map, don't forget when travel restrictions are eased I want to know when and where you went on holiday, where you work, where you shop, which pubs and restaurants you frequent, whose bed(s) you are lying in (5G will help here as it has pinpoint accuracy). Then I will correlate that with your spending habits to ensure my profile of you tells me more about you than you know about yourself. I will also correlate it with other data such as what other apps your are using, which apps are therefore the biggest leakers and I could target if I wanted, I'll then correlate that with your music listening habits, do you use Siri or Alexa? Aha there is some voice for me to listen too, also I can correlate your movements to CCTV, what? your phone was there but some other's face is looking at it? how did that happen? Then I'll also just check out your Ringo videos and then I will check out your trading accounts and finally banking, ooooh lovely banking and crypto...
Then I want to know when you've been vaccinated, otherwise......
