    • Woohoo! Second wave of destruction headed soon.PhanLo
    • Nobody will use this app. Nobody trusts the government or the company behind it with their data. What a farce!microkorg
    • £46 million pounds well spent!webazoot
    • Apple and Google would have had this thing working by now.SlashPeckham

    • But they'll never have the capacity that Google or Apple have. So will have to go with trust.monoboy
    • Given Google have just transferred all our data (UK) out of the EU (Ireland) because of Brexit. We're under US data protection laws.monoboy
    • So no doubt it'll be used for more than just COVID-19 track and tracing at some point.monoboy
    • The NHS handed over patient data to google en-masse recently too. And therefore to private companies.monoboy
    • All part of the paid-for healthcare system that's on the way post December 2020.monoboy
    • Just heard we finished our app here in Denmark today.... so arn't they being a bit slow?Nutter
