Surely just installing an app voluntarily would get enough tracing to be effective?

As a kiwi who has spent half my life living in different countries, I can say trust in the government here, while not universal, is higher than anywhere else I've been. I think most people would do it

Agree. compared to the shit-storms politicians are creating in other countries I'm sort of proud of the way our government acted so decisively and unilaterally, and I generally get the feeling they are acting for the good of the people not themselves.

I can already see the cracks appearing as some idiots try to score points or promote their own agendas and the media are happy to give them air time, the "covidcard" or phone tracing app will open another one of those cracks even though like you say the majority would conform

I trust our government quite a bit too. Would have no qualms downloading and using an app. I want an app. I'm less keen on the card, but honestly whatever gets the highest ability to trace the most number of contacts is what I'm for. The numbers out of Singapore dont seem to indicate an app alone is a good enough solution.

The hybrid approach the article suggest where perhaps the card + app could be compatible would be ideal.

i trust the govt, but would not do it. a self reporting system is better than giving up privacy rights.
