I've just rang the company of the driver I chatted to. He's certain none of their drivers have tested positive for Covid.
Would Amazon or Hermes or DHL trace numbers in this context? All of them have left parcels recently, none of them were in close contact in any way at all. They all put the parcel down and run.

Just to be clear, I'm asking not because I want to get out of self-isolation or game the system. I'm asking because a) we are both high risk and I'm fucking worried now and b) because I can't add up how she's got a notification despite not being out anywhere for 2 months - and I haven't got a notification at all.

I'm trying to assess it's accuracy. It matters if I die.
You give the impression I'm just another person trying to game the system. I'm not.

For sure, didn't think you were the former, but didn't know the later. Know it's easier said than done but from what you've said I wouldn't worry, highly highly unlikely to be an actual infection risk. You're not going to be able to work out the contact or assess it's accuracy I'd have thought, probably best to try and not get to worried about tracking that down, might be something like a glitch or a very fleeting contact.
I am working with a former T&T temp worker who was on this full time for three months. He said that he got a laptop and headset sent by courier. The training was a six page PDF.
They got an email notification when someone needed to be contacted. Over the three months he had two emails, one with an incorrect number and one never replied to calls/messages.

A friend of mine had something similar, she concluded it may have been a neighbour? Maybe the app can't distinguish walls, if distance is within 2m? I decided I wouldn't install it on my phone from the start, I figured this sort of thing would happen.
There ya go... 'App thought I'd catch Covid through neighbour's floor' If it's happening in Scotland it could be happening anywhere

So, been self isolating since Tuesday as the ex showed symptoms, the result of her test came back negative.
This means we don't need to self isolate anymore am I correct?
e2a: she's not been in close contact with anyone having tested positive and neither have I.

Covid-19: NHS Test and Trace made no difference to the pandemic, says report
The NHS Test and Trace service in England failed to deliver its central promise to avoid a second national lockdown and there is no clear evidence its “unimaginable” costs have been justified, MPs on an influential committee have concluded.1 The damning report from the House of Commons Public...

But, most of that £37bn has been spent on testing, which has gone well, tracing not so well.
Just looked, almost 95 million tests conducted.
Our local testing centres are run by the council.
I think that testing is separated from tracking and tracing?

But, the budget would include setting-up the super labs, and IIRC correctly the budget covers the coming year too, so probably only around half has been actually spent so far.
Having said that, there's clearly been waste, but I am not sure how you could pinpoint the actual amount wasted.
I have to admit I've no idea how much a test should cost - what do you think it should be?

Boots are charging £120 for a private PCR test, some charge more.
Boots are cunts

Apparently that figure also includes the costs of the money that went to councils to set up their own T&T stuff. TBH it's not the total cost (although obviously it seems astronomically high) so much as the detailed breakdown, like the amount that went to individuals as consultants for example. Especially those still being paid.

Well, they seem to be the cheapest cunts on the 'high street', some clinic are charging up to £200.
The cheapest seem to be those booked via airline websites or at some airports.

You cannot be infected when you are sat down in a Wetherspoons. Only when you stand.
Squat everywhere you go I say.
In all seriousness, be safe.

I've booked a family holiday to Mallorca in mid-July, which I'll confess on the correct thread.
I note in the CoVID proof insurance they sold me with it, that you we are not covered if you can't travel because track and trace have told you to self isloate. Surely that should be covered?

Why should it necessarily be covered?
Most insurance policies have exclusion clauses, and it's up to those taking out the policy to ensure that it's appropriate for them and covers everything they think might be needed.
(sorry, I'm aware that doesn't sound very sympathetic, but I don't know what else you expect anyone to say)

If it's touted as 'CoVID' cover, you'd think a very possible related happening would be included. I am locking down the family for the next 2 weeks before we go, in any case
