No, the UK's app doesn't work on any of my 3 functional phones.
And I shall not be buying a new phone - until it has a blinding UV flash, a 2 metre force field, an EMP bluetooth chip, and a siren that warns me when it detects the virus, and/or antibodies thereto, at fifty paces.
Meanwhile, I shall stay at home and avoid homo sapiens, politicians, experts and bats, of whatever sexual persuasion.
Notwithstanding the purported aims of politicians, bureaucrats, medics, clinicians, and possibly developers of a bluetooth app, it appears to me that, as a user of an ancient Motorola moto 4g/lte phone running kitkat (which has data, location, and wifi turned off), even if it could somehow determine that a passing phone carrier (possibly untested, like me) is asymptomatic, infected or recovered, how would said app phone home (wherever that is)?
Who Me ?
I resent this invasion of my home and privacy.
I have had this handle for over six years, here at Techdirt. They know where to find me - I am at home all day, and everyday.
Unfortunately - stupid is forever.
They have a plan ...
Unfortunately, the plan is classified.

Deity only knows.
Surprised? 2nd try.
Hardly a surprise with a Dick in charge - she obviously doesn't like Brazilians, viz Menezes and Miranda.

As Dog's my witness ...
Give a dog a bone, and it will 'say' anything you want it to say, usually by wagging its tail, if it has one.
I would love to see a drug-sniffing dog take the stand, in a jury trial, and definitively indicate what the government's lawyer has been smoking.
