People are scared of the privacy implications of tracking. They should be, but they don’t have to be.
If I had any ability to execute ideas I would have made the app using raffle / cloakroom tickets as the metaphor.
Every time your phone sees another phone, they get one of your tickets and you get one of theirs.
Then whenever someone gets symptoms, if their ticket book was pink then the government announces “anyone with a pink ticket, stay inside for a week”.
(With real ticket books, there aren’t enough unique colours for everyone but the tickets do have unique serial numbers.)

- danuker 5y ago> Every time your phone sees another phone, they get one of your tickets and you get one of theirs. This is exactly how the German app works. It broadcasts anonymous Bluetooth beacons, and logs whatever beacons it saw. If you are infected, your app sends to the server "I saw these beacons then found out I'm infected", and the server updates its live infection list. The one in Play Store uses Google Exposure Notification Framework of course, but a de-Googled version is on F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/packages/de.corona.tracing/ https://f-droid.org/packages/de.corona.tracing/
