I have it on my phone. It treat it is an additional incremental factor for everyday use.
Mask+social distancing+sanitising is the combination to give a base level. The App will add to that increasing the effectiveness.
My phone is inherited from
and the battery is now at 80% (age loss). I have bluetooth off when at home or out walking the dog where people are scarce. Currently being in local lockdown means limited mingling with other people but bluetooth will be activated on going out. A simple case of on when appropriate and off when not. I carry a battery booster to top up if needed (can hold 2-3 charges).
Yes, Boris’s Army have proved numpties with decisions (and lack of) but the App will help. My worries are getting a test if needed and the effectiveness and security of track and trace.
We are not going out to pubs/restaurants much but if we do then we are very selective on which ones. Went to an Indian to collect a takeaway Sat evening. Restaurant was empty (6.30pm). App activated but no Q scan there. Easy social distancing with a mask on.
The biggest loss at the moment is no contact with the grandchildren who are in our lockdown area. Just video calls GRRRR! Back to visits in the garden when the rain stops! They are desperate to see Monty (dog). The App will be on when we do.
The App is not the world beater Boris promised with track and trace but will do a job.
