Right? Maybe there are good reasons for the scheduling, and only a small minority of us working part/flexi hours and not using after school clubs. But if we had been considered even for a moment I would expect them to at least offer a recording, and I can’t see one mentioned…

Kendall & Ferretti et al, Science: we showed anonymised data from app-based contact tracing enables analytics for epidemic monitoring that is virtually real-time, high-resolution & national scale. Nice Science mag front cover 👀 (Remember outdoors safer than indoors!)

Shout out to everyone who worked on the NHS COVID-19 app, particularly my amazing academic collaborators Christophe Fraser, @chriswymant.bsky.social, Luca Ferretti, @daphnetsallis.bsky.social, @alicele.bsky.social and Xavier Didelot who all played a central role in the work I've described.

2. Motivations for pandemic preparedness. Digital contact tracing apps could:
a. play a key, low-cost role in mitigating future outbreaks.
b. gather valuable insights in real time, helping to evaluate and fine-tune our choices of public health interventions (towards minimising negative impacts).

To round up. Why is all this important?
1. Retrospective insights:
a. we've quantified the epidemiological effectiveness of digital contact tracing.
b. we've found out more about COVID-19: how and when it spread during the years the app was active, in lots of detail.

Christmas and the Euros were associated with big increases in spread, driven by synchronised (likely inter-generational) meet-ups across England and/or Wales. Excess transmissions on Euro match days accounted for 29% of all app-recorded transmissions during the month-long tournament scim.ag/86t

Plus the data captured fine-grained insights into the drivers of transmission, including the effects of day-of-the-week, setting (longer vs more fleeting contact), and geographical region.

Analysis of app data provided a leading indicator of the reproduction number R, available at least 5 days earlier than other estimates. This provided valuable situational awareness for policy makers.
