It's not all about you, it's about trying to stop the spread of the virus to people who might be more vulnerable than you are.

As the Apple/Google system shows, it's possible to do contact tracing without sacrificing privacy. The blame is entirely with the UK government, not anybody who takes the reasonable step of refusing to support unnecessarily harmful technology.

They won't show it on practice, no one can bet it. Read source but what is on the phone. Just take their word? Phones are locked down devices.

Apple / Google already have control of your phone in this regard to begin with. So why is the contact tracing framework such an issue?

Why not take measures that don't impact individual rights, like requiring essential jobs to provide their employees with PPE? Where's the accountability for Amazon and Walmart, that continue to allow sick employees to work?
