Results for - The COVID-19 Contact Tracing app - a boon or a boondoggle?

In Canada and elsewhere governments are launching contact tracing apps to notify users if they’ve been exposed to someone who’s tested positive for the coronavirus. But many people have been discovering they can’t use it. That’s because the technology is only available on Apple and Android phones “released with the past 5 years". In order to be effective, a 60% or greater download rate is needed. This could be hard to achieve if large numbers of phones are incompatible. There is some "big brother" type misinformation about the app that needs to be put to rest. If a person gets tested for COVID-19 and proves positive, a code number is uploaded to the app. If you are in a store fand someone who tested positive for COVID breaks quarantine and enters the store you will receive an alert that you "may" have been in contact with "someone." You can decide what to do about it such as sanitize, charge your mask, get tested for COVID or test yourself using on of the DIY kits. The app does NOT tell you who it was who triggered the alert and uses Bluetooth rather than GPS so your location is not tracked. So as many people as possible and at least 60% of us need to download the appropriate app. but can this be done if we don't have the right phone? That's what this survey is about.
