Would you use this app?

I would.

Or do you think it's too invasive of your privacy?

No, Avoid it!

If, as implied, the app kept the user anonymous then I don't see a problem and I can see how it could save lives.

I agree, anyway smartphones can be tracked without a specific app as far as I know.

It looks like it will happen here, tracking is already being done in Italy, Germany and Austria according to the following:

Yes...I would use it. It would be good to know where the cases are. Today I learned that one of the members of my Art group and her partner both have the virus. She is being treated at home with oxygen. The area where I live is a real hot spot. So It would make sense to use an app like this. When they announce the numbers in Wales now, they don't say what area the cases and deaths are in...but the word is that most of them are in my local hospital..the Royal Gwent. So I'm not leaving my house.

No, I would avoid it even if I had a smart phone and knew how to use it.

Astro I am missing my holiday in Wales this year because of this horrid virus but I holiday at the top end in Towyn opposite where you are in the Newport area.

All of you take care, stay safe and well.

I think we should use anything that helps in understanding the virus. I also can’t wait for the day when we say, do you remember when apps were the answer to everything?
