No, it's pointless and I don't particularly want to be tracked either

@EdwynCollins
Yes.This.

Not really sure what the point is. Every time you go near someone who has ‘reported’ symptoms (so not actually tested positive, they could just have had a cold) you’ll be alerted then will worry you may catch it. It’ll just cause more anxiety than it’s worth.

No, I won't (knowingly) be letting anyone associated, however tangentially, with the Analytica data snatch get anywhere near any info about me.

No. I work in a school and commute by train and tube. It would be more useful to get an alert saying I'd not encountered a possible sufferer. I am assuming I will most workdays, if schools resume.

Not even launched yet apart from trial and already subject to a legal challenge today, as it breaches the UK laws.

Shocker government breaks own laws on privacy.

No way will I be downloading a downloading a tracing App.

We already have Big Brother in the curtain twitchers - illegal to sunbathe in the park by yourself fcs.

Still. 50 % vote for a tracing app by the state. Lambs to the slaughter. Really and truly, I am coming to believe that most people are morons, and the sooner this world is turned over to "nature" pre-Eden (ie no humans) the better. So sad though.

WitchQueenofDarkness · 07/05/2020 18:45

Definitely 100% no

Hedgehog44 · 07/05/2020 18:57

Yep will download whatever helps

I probably would download the Google app used in the EU.

I definitely Won't download the App from Cummings' mate and vote leave team.
