The Chinese did that too. Their app tracks movements and symptoms to determine individual risk. Chinese residents now get a green or red code as to whether they're permitted to leave their house and enter essential stores.

I'll stay in but this app is far too familiar.

It's a click link for me.

Dont know what "too familiar" means. I'm expecting in a few weeks boris will be ordering some people back to work while others, considered vulnerable, will be told to stay in lockdown. That has nothing to do with this, except that it might help decisions to be made on data and not assumptions/ mumsnet being used for fake threads testing public opinion.

My children (age 8 and 11) have been invited to take part in What's the Story. They will have a blood test to see if they have antibodies to COVID-19 (as well as Men C and diphtheria) .
We don't get to know the individual results but it will help researchers a lot.
