Pingdemic

A play on the words "ping" and "pandemic". This is when a large number of people are notified ("pinged") by a contact-tracing app to self-isolate after they have come into contact with a person who has tested positive for COVID-19.
The NHS Covid-19 App told half a million people last week to self-isolate. A pingdemic has begun.
