NHS contact tracing app isn't really anonymous, is riddled with bugs, and is open to abuse. Good thing we're not in the middle of a pandemic, eh?

What's that - we've got to design a high profile anonymous tracking app and lives will be lost for each day of delay?

I'll inflict bugs and problems galore on my team by refusing the offer of help from Google and Apple, make it not-actually-anonymous to decrease take up (costing lives) and bloat it with unnecessary features - again inflicting bugs and problems galore on my team.

You know that thing where, the first time you do something, it takes 5 times as long because you're still learning... and it still turns out crap so you start over? This is one of those moments.
