I’ve been playing a lot of old text based RPG’s and your reply made me chuckle:
“In the desert of good ideas you see in the horizon ahead, it’s looks like an ideas oasis, your party becomes excited! They run towards it, +1exp but sadly the oasis is but a mirage and all you find is Paul Webb (-50exp) and you realise that you are hallucinating and you are still stuck in the vast desert of good ideas.” I don’t think they are selling anything - frankly they don’t have to but I suspect given a choice of more of this and your family dying that selling this won’t be too hard. HMG are trying to use whats probably our best chance of getting back to some sort of normal quickly, and what is being used successfully in many parts of the world. If I look at the death rate in South Korea it’s hard to ignore the success they have had considering they have 20% less people in the UK but they population density in major cities is _significantly_ higher than the UK. Confirmed 10,653 Recovered 7,937 Deaths 232 Our death count 14K (and probably more like 20k) Maybe they know something we don’t? “Your Party is excited” +75exp Regards, Neil.

The “lack of privacy notice” for the personal data is quite shocking! https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/privacy-notice-for-covid-19-response-activity/privacy-notice-for-covid-19-response-activity
