Track, trace and err.....

I see a report in today’s Independent that the 18000-strong track and trace effort is being set up and run by G4S and the like and has completely sidelined the professional Public Health set up that is already responsible for, errr, tracking and tracing other notifiable diseases. It’s all done via call centres.....

That’ll be another few thousand lives lost then....


The test, track and trace programme to tame coronavirus and release the lockdown will be “a car crash” as currently designed, a leader in disease control has warned in a blistering attack on the government.

Ministers are recruiting low-skilled private staff to carry out complex work and ignoring vital local experts, while relying on an unproven smartphone app, insisted a director of the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH).
 
Not sure that it can work particularly well. All the testing methods have very poor reliability and the public is suspicious.

An interesting one in Korea over the weekend; one confirmed spreader had a potential 7200 contacts.
 
An aspect of health care sold out to a private company who are using low skilled workers to do the work? Stone me.
 
Well the testing was contracted out to accountants FFS!, so this is just following Gov. policy.
You do wonder what Public Health England is for, some cynics say it is there just to be sold to the USA as it's not really our NHS is it?
