Test and Trace

I have never used the Test and Trace App to log a test, as I've never been anywhere requiring one - nor would I, as it's a sure sign of a venue being risky; however, a friend came round to to us on Thursday get a lateral flow test kit from Hay before going to an event in Minehead.

He went to his NHS Test and Trace App to log the test serial number and the App then asked whether the test was positive or negative. Hay told him to press the Negative button to see what happened and his test was accepted - before he actually took the test and without having to provide evidence of any sort.


He did then take the test, which was negative, but in effect anyone can use the Track and Trace App to get a free pass as the system relies 100% on people being honest and, as we know, many aren't. 

Something is very wrong with this App. You'd think £37bn could have produced something much better. You can build a fleet of 30 RN frigates for that, or a Trident sub.
