Not true. You may be assuming that asymptomatic means not contagious or

Hi FromTheRafters,

It's clear Rod Speed (aka %%) doesn't comprehend that asymptomatics can be
contagious (remember the WHO retraction on that very subject?).

My response was not to Rod (%%), but to Joerg Lorenz- who wrote:

Nope, just those who are too stupid to even work out that that
approach works very well with those who are asymptomatic, stupid.

There is no difference between the asymptomatic and the presymptomatic
with regard to the app's purpose of helping to trace paths of contagion
spread. It seems to be only a personal risk assessment application and
as with all such risk reduction schemes, it can give a false sense of
security if one misunderstands the purpose.

I think an alert can be a good thing if I exposed myself to the virus
to a greater extent than I had assumed.
