I still need you to answer a simple sensible question based on logic:
o *How is the app gonna tell _YOU_ asymptomatics were in contact with YOU?*

They can't, because I don't have a smartphone.

Please read this before you respond:

Symptoms https://time.com/5848949/covid-19-asymptomatic-spread/

Still, an asymptomatic can test positive for any number of reasons.
Consider my sister in Sanford, she tested twice even though she was
asymptomatic. Had she tested positive either time they would have
canceled her surgery. If we had smartphones, if we had apps, I would be
notified by the app if I had endured proximity which warranted it.

This might be good for me if someone else tested positive, it might be
good for others in my little world if I tested positive and they got
notified. Just because it is not scalable or perhaps just not widely
acceptable does not mean it is unworthy.
