  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.

  Isle of Wight

  Yes, I am on the Isle of Guineapigs.

  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.

  Remind me again ... what is the french for backdoor?

  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)?

  Deity only knows.

  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.
