YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJames O'Brien summed up the government's latest "chaotic" reaction to coronavirus - the Track & Trace app that they've ditched for another version.
The government ditched their "centralised" test and trace app following trials in the Isle of Wight when they discovered that it had only worked 4% of the time on iPhones. They are now using existing technology from Apple and Google instead.
The government claims that they had been working on both apps simultaneously, but James pointed out that's not something they've ever mentioned before.
He said: "This to me is chilling. In response to Matt Hancock's claim yesterday that they are combining the two apps that they've been looking at all along into a new app that we might have by winter.
"A spokesperson for Apple said 'We don't know what they mean by this hybrid model. They haven't spoken to us about it.'
