Thanks for allaying some of the privacy concerns around the place Mike.....

But to be honest, I will wait for the Apple/Google contact tracing app to be released (because it will be soooo open and better and with a generic name can be used beyond the current pandemic).

It will not only tell me I've just sat next to someone with Covid19 on my train ride to work, but that they also updated their status to single this morning with a broken heart emoji. They've also been up all night watching relationship expert advice videos and about to start their 10 hour shift (since they socialize online under different pseudonyms, their employer is none the wiser) as an open heart surgeon... And if i’m inclined and would like to take up a limited special offer, I can get a 50% rebate on my 21yo gold plated private health fund if I can convince the Covid19 case to co-isolate immediately in the seat in front of me with the other Covid19 case. A full rebate if I can convince both of them to get off at the next station!!
