It makes no sense as most people will book the test via the website and won't have the code needed.
It's a very, very expensive way of checking into venues
what a pile of shite
better get Farage down to that beach pointing at some boats just in case the British public wake up and realise how much of their money's been spunked on this waste of time.
They're already digitising them. Estimate is it'd be about, oh, 25 years plus to digitise everything. And that's before they're added to. You can also tell more from the original document - paper, tears, things that can't be picked up, things that are missed by the camera (the binding etc.). There'll always be a place for the original.
Eh?So the 'NHS' covid app actually has no link with NHS testing for covid? What the fuck is this country
Use it works guys ignore the Twitter cowboys and experts who aren’t the experts. The more of us use it the more of the epidemic we stop
"yet" there has to be some sort of backend system in place so you can get access to your test results if they just release it willy nilly, some brainiact who can reverse engineer will take a look through the code find a issue hack the NHS like they did with visa few years back. It's not as simple as clicking your fingersSo the 'NHS' covid app actually has no link with NHS testing for covid? What the fuck is this country

just have to wait for it to work fully, can you not just click a box that says you do or do not have the virus? I don't have the app as no need.So it's fine to have a contact tracing app that doesn't properly contact trace.
You need to upload the NHS and PHE test results so the app can tell people if they have been in contact with someone who has tested positive.
No, there isn’t that feature. I guess because any idiot can press a button to say they have it even if they don’t and that would corrupt the data and make the app worthless. Equally though if you can’t log all test results from all testers it has the same effect. Yet again a lack of joined up thinking from the government. A shame really because the app is really simple to use and should be a simple effective tool in combatting Covid and getting closer to the old norm from the new norm.just have to wait for it to work fully, can you not just click a box that says you do or do not have the virus?

I’m not certain the guy on Twitter was correctThe App? I've got it but how is an app that is meant to track and trace contacts that can't accept a large number of the test results going to help?

Doesn’t need to go that far - he can just find a motorway flyover on the Kent border.what a pile of shite

Allegedly.
I saw that and I want to know the implications of that. It’s a great story to prove how shit the app is if that’s what you want to prove.Allegedly?
You can't verify NHS, PHE or ONS test results. This has been confirmed by the official app twitter account.
I saw that and I want to know the implications of that. It’s a great story to prove how shit the app is if that’s what you want to prove.
However what if 95% of tests are being done through the app? What if this is something that they are aware of and it makes little difference to the overall success of the Isle of Wight tests no subsequently its use in the wider population?
The modelling is clear this will save lives and infections
If I was to guess pillar 1 is mostly hospital, care homes and nhs and care workers. Pillar 2 community but I’ll try and confirm definitively why this shouldn’t be seen as a grave mistakeThe NHS and PHE testing is the Pillar 1 testing that is reported everyday. The last daily figures for pillar 1 testing were 73,243. This is compared to the 172,120 pillar 2 tests (the commercial labs that this can accept). This means in 1 day almost a 1/3 of all tests could not be entered.

You may be right this is about making money and not saving lives. If so friends involved would be fuming

Why are they calling it an NHS app when it can’t accept test data from the NHS?
I’ve downloaded it and will be using it wherever I can. My only real concern was my own data protection but the way the app works the people who will have your information already (ie Apple etc) from downloading the app already have it so there’s no further risk.He’s more of an expert than you and he says it will make a difference.
