If someone wants to enter fake details thats their choice.
If someone is high risk, they probably should enter their details honestly to stay informed.
The track and trace has already been used to alert people they've been in contact with someone with covid and closed establishments temporarily which means its working. Stopping the spread means people need to be honest and aware of whats going on around them. If one person enters their details, I'm sure they'd inform everyone they're with if they were alerted that they'd been near someone with covid. Personally I'm glad its been made compulsory as working in hospitality has been a pain for the past 2 months with people being difficult constantly.
If you tested positive would you inform the establishments you had visited recently so they could communicate this to others that had been in the establishment at the same time as you? If the answer to that is no, track and trace has only failed because of human selfishness.
To be honest, the spread of covid has been down to human selfishness. Lockdown was inefficient, eat out to help out has triggered a spike and local lockdowns hardly work because people can just leave to another area as soon as its announced. Police weren't given clear instructions on their powers so for the later part of lockdown couldn't even enforce it. People refused to wear masks (which literally stop you from spreading droplets of moisture aka how the virus is mostly transmitted) and spout nonsense about it being a hoax.
Track and trace is only money wasted if people make it that way. If people are honest and treat this pandemic more seriously than it actually is, it will never get that serious.
Topic: Well I had to fill in a contact tracing form this morning. - page 2. (Read 404 times)
The point isn't getting some info from you, whether the info is useless or not, whether it is a waste of money by the government or not.
It's like elementary school. The children are in school to learn. They learn different subjects. Among them are reading, writing and arithmetic. But the biggest thing they learn is to sit at a desk for hours in a day, when they would rather be out playing. Many kids wish they could be doing something useful, but they have to sit.
The biggest thing that is being taught by filling out the form is, divulge your info on forms. The next from will be a little more detailed, and the one after that, more detailed yet.

It is no longer voluntary in the UK. If you don't fill in the form, then you don't get served in the cafe. Of course you can walk around in the supermarket as much as you like without providing any details.
I guess that my main point is that the UK government is squandering money on this totally useless bit of fear mongering, and it is trying to look as if it cares, whilst it is cutting money on other essential medical services, and on policing. It is also attempting to increase taxes to pay for its Mickey Mouse projects.

I would have had more skepticism if they were using their credit card transactions to contact trace instead of having people voluntarily filling out the form themselves.
Takes 30 seconds, big deal.

1. you either need more friends.. or is proof that the infectee level is low and not near 'herd immunity'
the funny part is if it was at high herd immunity you would be saying lots of your friends have had it.
2. they dont harvest data. the forms stay with the restaurant and as long as no one was sick in the average 2hour period someone stays at a restaurant that day then the restaurant doesnt use the forms
meaning it will just get binned after a few weeks
only those that came were at he restaurant when an infectee was. would be contacted
repeat for emphasis
the forms are not passed onto the NHS service by default for everyone. they are kept by the restaurant and only used if your visit comes into the time slot of infectee that the restaurant finds out about. the other forms are binned after a few weeks
..
and its not 80% infected/immune
try learning math

As I ordered my coffee in the cafe I was handed a form which I weas required to complete in order to be served. It seems ther is a requirement to fill in the form, but no requirement to use genuine details. I wonder how many fake details will be harvested by this useless waste of money. It would have been far simpler, and more accurate, if they had collected the credit card details at the time of payment. There are four entries -
- Today's date and time, but no mention of the length of stay.
- Full name of responsible person, but no details required for any other member of the party
- Contact telephone number, but no mention that it has to be your number.
- Total number of people in your group.
So what are they going to do with this load of useless rubbish. I don't know anybody who has been tested, or anybody who has been confirmed as having the virus. I believe that some reports indicate that as many as 80% of the UK population has some form of immunity to the Corona Virus family, but they don't seem to test for this, or to report any findings that don't support total annihilation unless we send loads of money to the Bill Gates eugenics programme.
