COVID-19: Track and Trace Farce

 Here in the UK we've had a track & trace mobile phone available for months.

You'd think the app would be storing information on where confirmed cases of Covid transmission happened and that the government would be offering that information so the population could avoid high-risk areas.

B8ut no, we're not getting any information out of the app. No details of numbers tracked and traced, no information on the areas or activities most likely to transmit the virus, no information on areas or activities to avoid.

So, what is the point of the app?

Considering that we were obliged for a time to use the app to log in to every pub, restaurant, shop, ship, bus or train we used, there should be useful data coming out of it.

Are the shops that are staying open the highest risk infection vector?

Is public transport safe?

Is the reason the information isn't being made public because it contradicts government policy?

Looking at the stats produced by the NHS, I can tell how many females or males of a certain age were tested positive, I can see where they lived. I can drill down to individual towns and infection rates, how many were tested and how many tested positive..

But the important thing, where covid-positive people met and infected other people, where they actually caught the virus is missing. 

Is it the Supermarkets? Is Tescos more deadly that Sainsburys or Waitrose? Are killer busses roaming the streets?
