Why not let older people make the choice themselves?

As far as I'm aware, within the 'accommodation' sector, ONLY care homes, nursing homes and social care (care in your own home) companies come under the NDC umbrella.

Right or wrong

I was amazed when i read the above does it not make sense to lift restrictions on the less vunrable first and those at most risk like the elderly last i wonder what others think.

@1263 You have lost your argument as you do not have a clue what you are talking about.

I wouldn't have a problem with it but I haven't got a smartphone so I couldn't use it anyway.  There must be a lot of people like me, who can't get traced.

My error -  I was using the expression 'care home' sloppily such that I was using it in a generic sense to cover not only care and nursing homes but also sheltered, supported living, and retirement homes and such like.

No idea - I don't know very much about Care Homes.

It looks as though we may be asked to download a contact tracing app onto our phones i for one think it's a good idea i have nothing to hide and dont see a problem with it but i wonder how the wider population feel about it.
