At the moment that statistic asks more questions than it answers. And has that particular data been released in order to persuade us to "behave ourselves" come Monday?

Little Miss Happy Jul 2021 1:25pm, 15 Jul 2021 4,735 posts	0 Little Miss Happy Happy - so none of them will be included in the figures then as I believe that is positive PCR tests? As the app hasn't changed then it must be the number of infected people that people are coming into contact with. Great that the app is suddenly subject to criticism for doing what it's supposed to.

I know 110% I’ve not been in that position. So if I got pinged and had to isolate it would be OTT and knowing 3 people personally where this has happened is not good.

Another great one is my phone told me this morning I’d signed into Etsy & changed my password (I had) but said I was in Birmingham- I’m not I’m at home in Durham. At the exact time and unless someone changed my password to the exact one I did at the exact time I’m not convinced of it’s accuracy anymore.
