Get the COVID-19 tracing app ASAP

What do you think about the COVID-19 tracing app our Australian government is talking about? Are you worried about privacy?

Well, lets step back a bit. Ever since you bought your very first smartphone you gave up all your privacy, and you can never get it back. Facebook, Google and Apple know everything about you, from the shops you visit, your eating habits, who you work for, how many kids you have, what you look like and where you go each and every day.  And they sell this data. And they don’t pay tax, or almost none.

So if you’re worried about privacy, stop using your smart phone now. And never use it again.

If on the other hand you’re worried about how we’re ever going to recover from this pandemic and return to normal life, then download the COVID-19 tracing app.

If you want to know if you or your family have been in contact with someone infected with COVID-19, then download the COVID-19 tracing app.

If you become infected with COVID-19 and you feel others who have been in contact with you should go get tested, then download the COVID-19 tracing app.

Because without this COVID-19 tracing app we’ll be maintaining social isolation until a vaccine is available and everyone has been jabbed. And some scientists are worried they may never find a vaccine.

So download the COVID-19 tracing app as soon as it’s available.

If you have family or friends who are still more worried about their privacy than they are about helping their family, friends and the rest of our community, then tell them to ditch their smart phone. Forever.
