I think, the main point here is not the delay, but the time you have to take out of your schedule, and you have to explain to your environment (I.e. work, taking care of family members).

It's not one or the other. Vaccines work great, but the prevention is not 100% effective. It seems now doubtful, that we can achieve herd immunity, so we still need something to treat people for which the vaccine doesn't work. I w

That's very general and generally known (at least in this community). How do you see that not addressed in the article? which means are you missing?

Not sure, if you are trolling, but assuming good faith: That's not what privacy means. That's secrecy.

Care to elaborate? From your short sentence, I can only guess what you mean, and it is at odds of what I get from the article, which says: > Privacy is a key requirement of any contact tracing systems

The next sentence right after the one you chose to quote in your last paragraph: "This is close to 8%. However this number shouldn’t be taken at face value." Why? TLDR: Too small group and too few cases in groups (one each) to be

I would say, almost the opposite: It is much easier if you essentially do not have to work anymore and you can do it just for the kick of it. Like starting a space race.

Reflecting on it, it doesn't solve anything, as I still have to give my name and date-of-birth to the person validating it anyway. Otherwise, there is a large degree of normalisation in the id documents in the EU, and you could simply

It is the same way necessary as having your passwords stored in plain-text to verify your password. Name and DOB could be hashed and compared to the hash inside the QR code.

Counterexamples: Running your DB with the default parameters. Not running Linux kernel parameters depending on your workload. (+10Gbit NICs, lots of connections...) There are reasons, why those knobs are there, as there are always trade-off
