NHS COVID-19 App for Smart Phones – did it ever work ? – waste of UK Tax Payers Money ? – Fake App ?

Thursday, June 18th, 2020

When the GOV.UK stated they were testing an NHS COVID-19 app for smartphones to track and trace, I managed to get my hands on the app for iOS (Apple), and I tested it… in May 2020 using this test kit – this is an nRF52 Development Kit – Bluetooth Kit – connected to a computer, you can “sniff” Bluetooth traffic…

I never saw any Bluetooth traffic between iOS devices (Apple) and on a few forums, I asked questions, does it actually work ???? and for weeks I’ve been asking what has happened to the App ???

Today I find out… this:—-

Looks like it’s been abandoned, did it ever work ?

UK virus-tracing app switches to Apple-Google model

NHS COVID-19 app switches to Google/Apple Model!?

I’ll probably be bundled it the back of a black van after writing this, so see you around!

Getting On - Comedy on BBC Four

Getting On - Comedy on BBC Four

It’s back for a Second Series, I’ve not laughed so much at a BBC Comedy.

Getting On is a satirical British sitcom based in a present day NHS hospital. It is largely ad-libbed by its cast, who also wrote the series. Jo Brand is one of the writers and actors.

“It’s my perception of the NHS today”, I’m sorry to say, after having first hand experieince of the NHS over the past two years!

Watch it on BBC Four or BBC iPlayer.
