The idea is that aggressive quarantining allows a comfortable return to normalcy for everyone.

Maybe at most a couple 10,000 sent into home isolation (a week should be plenty here, no need for 14 days – we aren’t shooting for perfect anyways) versus 81 million with strong measures.

Obviously the app isn’t the perfect solution here. Much more important is thorough and swift real contact tracing (followed by quarantine irrespective of diagnostics, so quite similar to how the app would work with many false positives). But I wouldn’t reject the app out of hand.
