> if the app just gives you a ton of alerts, because maybe you encountered someone in the street with the virus If I'm not mistaken, the protocol as currently defined by Apple and Google only flags an exposure if you have seen at least two different beacon payloads from the same issuer. The payload changes every 5 minutes, so you would usually not receive an exposure notification when an infected person just passes by you on the street. You might see one of their beacons, but probably not two, and most probably not two beacons with different payloads.
