Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

What's people's general feeling about a tracking app like the one brought in in Australia?

The sooner the better please. It was a big part of the relaxation of movement in China. My BiL used it out there and it worked well, allowed him to get out and about again. Anything that can get us back and moving again.
 
Incidentally, another big part of the relaxation of movement in China was that pretty much every shop you entered had a temperature checking machine that you had to pass through in order to enter. I don't know if they were airport style machines to walk through or a person stood with a temp gauge on the forehead. Anyway, if you showed up as hot you didn't get in, if you were fine you got in. These were in all shops, as soon as you showed red you knew you had to isolate. I've not heard that being mentioned here but is that another thing worth looking at?

I don't trust them not to sell my data. They probably do already, and I have no idea who would want it. For me, it's a no.

They are being brought in across countries, the Australian one went live today I believe. If they were the difference between you being able to move more freely and you being housebound, watching the rest of us go to golf, shops, pubs etc, would you really not use it?

I get your point but at the moment I care more about moving around more freely. The beggars are probably tracking us all anyway in one form or another via the apps we already have.

Not sure if it was at the daily briefing or another programme where a scientist was explaining that the hand held devices can be inaccurate, +/- 2 degrees, so aren't much use for this situation.
