The UK announced this week it was eschewing Apple and Google's contact-tracing API to build its app, which will process users' data centrally.
Experts warn this could create a database that could then be used to de-anonymize users.

The Covid Show - full of useless graphs and meaningless flannel (and a couple of people who know what they're talking about but say little).
