good points. My perspective was..... so I brush past a person at the grocery store and "ding"....you'd be in 2 week quarantine multiple times I should think.Sam_Brown wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 1:21 pmThe Cincinnati Kid wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 12:27 pm 5: Would you put an app on yer smartphone that allows govt. to tell you to quarantine if you've come in contact with an infected person?
Not a chance
Glad you got a negative test .
As for the app no chance. Not after what happened with Cambridge Analytica. The government are already lying about the scope of the app and data being collected and it's not even out yet! It already looks to me that it would be possible for personal information to be deduced given that you have to register your phone, provide the first part of your postcode and also your phone make and model. Also wide open for trolling. What's to stop me going back to work then falsely claiming I've had symptoms causing everyone to have to self isolate? I imagine some kids would be smart enough to do this and try and get a few extra weeks off school.
The claim:
Any information you submit is deleted once it is no longer needed to help manage the spread of coronavirus.

The truth:
Britons will not be able to ask NHS admins to delete their COVID-19 contact-tracking data from government servers, digital arm NHSX's chief exec Matthew Gould admitted to MPs this afternoon.
Gould also told Parliament's Human Rights Committee that data harvested from Britons through NHSX's COVID-19 contact tracing app would be "pseudonymised" - and appeared to leave the door open for that data to be sold on for "research".

As for Mrs Kids negative test, we're both fairly convinced she already had it. Sickish (not too bad) back in early March and she works the front door at COSTCO and was in contact with hundreds every day Jan through early April. So if she had it, I would have to have had it (no symptoms for me other than a 1 day scratchy throat back in early Apr). I have that anti body test available now but awaiting its reliability numbers before taking it.
As for Lady Kids test last week, she basically had a head cold but needed to be sure as she was taking a long road trip to New Mexico and the destination included a couple of very elderly vunerable people so you gotta be sure before you take off.
