Not very good in my opinion. Should have referenced Bruce Schneier who
doesn't think it will be useful at all:

It's a shame that it isn't likely to work, as if it did it would be
wonderful, but one has to be realistic.



The older generation who are at most at risk are the least likely to
install any apps such as this.


But they arent the ones that need contact tracing, its
the much more mobile younger people who need that
when they turn out to be positive.
