    This is a good point . Someone closely involved in the design of the app that even if people didn't obey "pings" from the app telling them to isolate it was expected that it would make them more cautious. And it looks like that is happening...

    Suspect there is a huge amount in this 👇. Pretty much every friend I have is or has indulged in a bit of voluntary isolation since the Pingdemic started to protect an upcoming holiday or big event. Why wouldn't our behaviour not be radically influenced by what we see happening?

    I get it, people like working from home. I like the sense of community I get from an office. We have different opinions, fine. But it’s depressing to see this become an internet argument between groups intent on reading each other’s arguments in the worst possible faith.
