Chat about Novel Coronavirus - 2019-nCoV - COVID-19

Test and trace is only ever as good as the information obtained from the people contacted.

There are also numerous stories (who knows of the truth behind them) of how bad they are even when given the information.

Someone on yacf was mentioning that their local rowing club gave T&T all of the contact details of people (over a number of days) who'd had significant contact with someone at the club who had tested positive and not a single person was contacted by T&T.

Then again there's the story of the family that received 60+ calls from T&T as they followed the script to inform each family member that one of the other family members has tested positive, etc.

So pubs and clubs closing, you think that someone would have checked how many infection spreads there have been in those locations. If it is a rife as we are led to believe you would think that T and T would have a hotline to the pub groups.

It does not seem to be the case though, so where are they getting the evidence from?

Figures for 22,500 venues and at least 268m customer visits suggest just 104 cases have been pursued since summer
