To not download the contact tracing app

[Ghostlyglow]

When it becomes available. How many people will?

Why wouldn't you? It's only an app!

If it’s accurate, not dodgy and and means I have more freedom to go where I choose - then I would

You’ll fine that a whole heap more apps that run on your phone already run your location in the background etc,

I wouldn’t, not sure why tho’

I will, if it gives me my freedom back.

Yup I will be. I want to be able to see my family and if this is an easy way to make that happen then of course I will. I never go anywhere anyway so I have no issues about people knowing where I am.

The vaccination however, I’m personally unsure of. Not because I’m anti-vac (I’m not at all) but because I’d be concerned about the fast turnaround and lack of testing and unknowing of long term side effects. I’m assuming if/when one is developed they’ll be able to release more info about it but everything is so unknown at the moment that I personally wouldn’t want to inject anything into my body yet (unless it’s disinfectant of course.....)

I will. I don’t wear a tin foil hat.

I have already downloaded it!
I am not in the UK>

I will.

What are your reasons for not doing so?

Of course. Most of your apps are already tracking your every movement you’re just not aware of it, so if that’s your reason not to then you’re being silly.

I can't think of a reason not to.

I tend to leave my phone at home when im out. Why do I need it?

I will. I do understand people’s reasons for being cautious but I think the benefits outweigh that

How does it help you to see your family?

I won't be downloading. Mainly because it makes me SO ANGRY that this app is only just happening now and not 4 months ago when the government were warned about coronavirus

@heartsonacake, they only do that if you let them. Disable the location and they don’t.

At the moment I am thinking no.
Think it’s because I don’t like the thought of something else tracking me. Yea I know a lot of apps etc can trace you etc but most of the time I leave my phone at home.
I’m not happy about paying for everything currently with a card I prefer to pay for everything in cash so the tracing app seems like an invasion of my privacy I guess as well.
Just my opinion at the moment I will look into more of the pros nearer the time.

@stopfundinghate

not 4 months ago when the government were warned about coronavirus

Firstly, it's been in Europe for less than 4 months.
Secondly, do you think there's an app ready to go for these things (there is now, if ppl download it)
Thirdly, you wont download because it's only available now? Are you alright in the head?

I understand the app doesnt track but works on bluetooth connection. It think it should work in GpS so we can see hotspots

Nope.

they only do that if you let them. Disable the location and they don’t.

QuestionMarkNow If you think that simply disabling the location usage on an app stops you being tracked then you’re very naive.

No, I shan't. I don't always have my 'phone with me, it's often switched off and at home....I don't like being at the beck and call of a 'phone, nor do I like being traced. And since my 'phone only does texts and calls anyway, it wouldn't download an app even if I wanted to.

I am sure I wont be the only one who doesn't have this app when it becomes available, and it really won't be compulsory...

I never understand why normal everyday people would care about the government knowing what they do. What do you think they can do with this information? How can it harm you?

Nope, me neither.
I don’t see how it will work. Everybody with a smart phone would need to download it in order to get enough data for it to work. I can’t see that happening.

I will.

For the greater good.

people who use google maps on your phones to see if there are traffic delays on your journey, you realise it's a similar idea?

Google maps gets its data from all the other google users to tell you if there's a hold up.
