The number of people on the Isle of Wight who have downloaded the trial phone app that tracks COVID19 has exceeded all expectations, the island's MP has told Sky News

The number of people on the Isle of Wight who have downloaded the trial phone app that tracks COVID-19 has exceeded all expectations, the island's MP has told Sky News.

Conservative MP Bob Seely says that figures from last Friday show that 65% of people who could download the app have done so. He said:"We are well ahead of what we hoped. When the figure goes above 20% you begin to get good evidence, over 50% and you start suppressing the virus and over 60% and you get the benefits of the app working."The app uses a phone's bluetooth technology to register contact when people come within 6ft of one another for at least 15 minutes., they inform the NHS and an alert is sent to other users they have come in contact with.

IOW haven’t had any cases have they?

The worst of it is that OTHERS PHONES that have current iOS or Android updates installed will also eventually be scanned by the idjuts phones that download these Apps in future. These sheep are consenting to everyone's phone being tracked. Stupid people.

More fucking lies I bet!

A smack in the eye for the doom & gloomsrs

Is this gonna be a free choice download or is it gonna be like that U2 album that appeared in everyone’s music library and still to this day it’s impossible to get rid of?
