Apple / Google app
Several countries have an app shipping using the Apple / Google API. So what's the advantages?
The app can warn people that came close to me even if I don't know them, or if I don't remember them. Imagine that.
As.a result, no need for someone to call me. No opportunity for a scammer to call me. Nobody will call me.
No server software to write at all. Ok, one tiny bit: To avoid idiots registering them infected, every positive test will be accompanied by a code; you'll have to enter the code, and then some tiny server checks that the code is valid and hasn't been used before.
What's the disadvantages? All the data is deleted after 14 days. 20,000 contact tracers lose their job. Dominic Cumming's best mates brother loses income.
So it's obvious how the government had to decide.
