Covid-19 can kill you. Being out of work can damage you. Having the economy shut down is harmful.
Having a touch less privacy is the least of most people's concerns. I willingly trade that in order to get out and about safely, and have the economy humming again. If I have been near someone who has been infected, I want to know. If I have been infected, I want everyone who I have been in contact with to know.
If you don't want to do that, that's fine. Don't download it. Let others protect you. But if people are that concerned about their privacy, maybe check out the cookies and malware they have on their devices that track and record everything they do already, sending the info overseas. This app records a fraction of that.
