Sorry for being unclear.
The reference to track-and-trace is to examplify that "recruited" and/or "trained" is not the same as effectively working. The track-and-trace program recruited who-knows how many people who then sat idle. With a non-existing training and without any management they had to face the public anger and confusion. There was almost no track-and-tracing going on, despite the huge numbers of recruited and trained.
The "350 million a week" is a reference to the current practice to use irrelevant, misleading or false numbers, repeated ad-nauseam to drive a sentiment with a crowd. The number itself is only veichle. I could be "we are walking 2 billion fotsteps every day - that is how hard at work we are".
This is how I end up taking the figure "1 000 000 inocculations/week starting jan 4" with a bucket of salt.
I did a quick search to find the schedule for this, but all NHS says is "don't call us, we will call you".
