I should think a lot more than pubs, but there are far more shops than pubs, I was just pointing out the alternatives to your statement.

I was going on what has happened locally. We have an increase of two, since March, pub wise.

98.4% local health tracing versus Serco's 57.6%. Obviously, we'll need more consultants to work out how to spend more money on Serco.
​
James Naismith, a professor of structural biology at the University of Oxford, said of the figures: “[They] show a system struggling to make any difference to the epidemic … The current system indicates that around two-thirds of infected people do not have contacts traced at all. Of the contacts provided, around 60% of the contacts are reached.​
​
​
“Of those that are reached, over 70% of them are in the same house as the positive case, so were unlikely to have needed the tracing system. Only half of all contacts that are actually traced are reached within 24 hours.​
​
​
“These statistics are a stark demonstration of what Sage concluded and we can see with our eyes: the system has given a bird’s eye view of the pandemic and done very little to halt it.” He suggested the test-and-trace system may be beyond repair.​
​
​
For cases handled by local health protection teams, 94.8% of contacts were reached and asked to self-isolate, but for those handled either online or by call centres the figure was 57.6%.​

As it’s always been NHS track and trace works been like that for years. Serco track and trace however is a total mess the best bit we are paying for it in more ways then one.:sad:

For 3 days now local radio has had a phone in re tier 3. Some are asking questions because they are generally confused.
Which is no wonder really they are just wanting to do the right thing. Sadly most are just asking questions which are clearly looking for work arounds the rules. :sad:

It all depends how it's done: if it's "how can I do X but stay within the rules" it's probably ok and just the personal version of a lot of "covid secure" advice for businesses. If it's "what's the loophole to hold a party" then that's worrying.
