COVID-19 exposure notification apps privacy concerns (GAEN API / COVID Alert SA)

Some compelling arguments and view points here.

I definitely seems to be in the minority here and this is partly why I don’t get involved in these types of discussions. I practice empathy a lot, given it’s my job and the type of person I am, and want to be emaptic towards the needs of others. I can understand and respects both sides of the arguments, especially those that have been affected, impacted and experience occurunces from COVID.

That being said, I also do not want to install this COVID app for a few reasons. It’s not so much about the tracking and personal information bollocks either. Even if I have been in contact with someone otherwise in contact with COVID how will that help me? If I go and get a test, what good will that bring? If it turns out I’m positive, how will that affect me?

I am big on removing negativity from mine, and my families lives. We follow faith based principles and teachings and believe we are protected by the blood of Jesus Christ. Does this make us immune, no! I am not being ignorant nor are we being careless. We’re all open to COVID regardless of race, beliefs, ethnicity, rich, poor, etc.

Sorry, much like others here I also just had to put my perspective out, and air my concerns. I’ve mostly been quiet on this thread for obvious reasons.
