The problem with social media and us blokes on here is that we all talk about stuff we know nufink about just to big note ourselves.
Remember the My Health kerfuffle and all the outrage over privacy concerns about our health information? Gee what I'd give to see Franco's file.
It seems 90% of the population are in.
Now to this App.
According to those propella heads at govmint the App collates data via bluetooth when phones come close to each other and it retains the data for three weeks.
The idea is that if you get the WuFlu then govmint can contact all people who got close to you whether you rooted them or not. Maybe that's why Barnaby is against it.
If we get a decent second wave then the App will be in, in except for those who want to opt out, just like My Health.

For those worried about data collected you currently share more information about yourself if you have:-
- A mobile phone with any app that shares location data
- Any loyalty program
- A free email account like gmail etc
- A credit or debit card
- Ebay or Amazon etc
- Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter
- Probably Uber.
Except in these cases you are sharing your information with private companies who onsell this information to other private companies and build up profiles on you.

The government is asking you to help out with download an app that does 1/100th of what you already freely giveaway now.
And you can delete the app anytime.
