Covid Rules Stuff

[Tris39]

A fairly shoddy piece or perhaps an illustration of how "journalism" works, it's trying to suggest this is about the NHS app but doesn't actually say that, it doesn't name names or present any evidence just the supposition of "experts" whose bias and agenda are unknown to us. More of a surprise than the fact that people don't read Ts & Cs is that they continue to believe internet balls.


I wouldn't use any of the pubco apps, partly because of what the article is about, also it would be more effective and efficient if everyone used only the NHS app as then there would be a better chance of identifying as many contacts as possible.

Yes. The NHS app requires virtually no data because all you need in reality is a phone number to send a text alert - that's it. You're right as far as this being an article of sensationalist journalism with no evidence presented. The reason though why people don't read Ts and Cs is that if you don't agree, you can't use the programme/app. The small print is usually too long, probably to deter people from reading them.
I too wouldn't want to use a pubco app, especially not the ones that ask for bank details and would give fake info when asked, save for a correct phone number and yes, it would be far simpler if everyone used the NHS app - I don't know why the Government doesn't make it compulsory and if it's a requirement for the hospitality industry, then why not shops?
