Test & Trace is "rubbish"?
1. Of the 106,000 cases handled by NHSTT, 92,000 (87%) were reached and 191,000 contacts were identified – around 2 contacts per case of which 94% were reached.
2. NHSTT has now started publishing end-to-end timings, meaning the average (median) time taken to reach a contact from when the case first reported developing symptoms. In the most recent week this was 78 hours, the lowest so far and nearly half of the 143 hours recorded at the start of October.
Source & performance information:
We tend to under estimate the scale of what has been built in terms of infrastructure and capacity to envelope 67 million folk.
Vaccination - what do you do with those who refuse/decline? Apart from that the efficacy of 1 shot (70% + reduction in hospitalisation) compared to 2 shots (90% reduction in hospitalisation) has to be balanced against giving more people 1 shot.
