German coronavirus smartphone tracing app goes live
- raxxorrax 6y agoTheoretically this is a good idea and the collection of data is handled with utmost care without central device or user information. I don't know how generic bluetooth interfaces in smartphones have evolved, but I think its reliability would be the greatest weakness. Honestly, aside from some demonstrations, when you look at how people behave, I think the tracing is almost a moot point again. Maybe it can be put to use when the next wave or pandemic hits, but currently everyone is behaving like normal again without using any app.

- phoenixdblack 6y agoWrong. It took 20 Million Euros to build the App twice, setting up hotlines, localization, server infrastructure etc. in a very short time. This is a huge undertaking and budgeted accordingly.
