Re: COVID Green on Github
There was an Irish guy on the Beeb today (sorry, a doctor maybe?) discussing the challenge facing the Republic's trace and test.
Initially they were exemplary, contacting people within a day or two, but that was when numbers were low. Now numbers have risen the delay has doubled, which you will all recognise as geometric.
The solution obviously is to bump up the number of tracers. He also said their test results were now being delayed making them less useful.
The 4 Nations (UK) and Ireland face different yet inter-related problems due to the lack of borders. Scotland is aiming for 'Zero COVID', which is torpedoed by England aiming for herd immunity. Northern Ireland seems more similar to the Republic than ever.
