Back On The Covid-19 Rollercoaster

According to the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), the latest estimate for R across the UK is between 1.0 and 1.2 with Covid-19 infections in England soaring by 60% with Birmingham becoming the latest city to face lock-down to try and stop the spread.
The figure from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) for the period 30 August to 5 September is up to 3,000 a day.
Wow, never saw that coming through the Government confused signals. Stay at home, go to work, don't go to work, go to the pub, get on a bus, 12 people in your house, eat out to save the hospitality industry, test your eyes by driving but don't despair because the government which promised a world beating contract tracing regime have announced the long awaited NHS contact-tracing app is to be launched on 24 September.
That would be the app which was deemed a key weapon and essential back in April but was relegated to 'the cherry on the cake' when it was abandoned at a cost of £100m in May because it just didn't work.
On so up we go back on the Covid-19 roller-coaster, what a ride!
