Contact tracing isn't bullshit. It is how they dealt with sexually transmitted diseases four decades ago...it works. The issue is that the UK govt is composed of a combination of incompetent and corrupt people (one of the companies involved in this is owned by a minister). And they are trying to go with the low-cost option (whilst the govt is subsidising 1/4 of salaries paid in the whole country) rather than the old-school, proven way. It is kind of shocking but it is the result of a political system (and culture) that rewards incompetence and sloth.
