Re: On the other hand
IDK, maybe you could look around at other countries and compare what they did. That might answer point a) .
As to point b) you are right, if you fetishize the gig economy, condone millions living a weeks wages from destitution and then ask them to give up two weeks work (and potentially lead to their families and friends also having to isolate) without putting in place an effective support system ,then that's what you get.
I don't think anyone is blaming test and trace failure on a syntax error in an Android app - it's a systemic failure of a failed system.
