No.
1. I’m not going anywhere where I shouldn’t be.
2. I don’t believe it will just be used to collect CV19 data.
3. I don’t buy the ‘oh don’t worry, we’re only using the info from the first part of your postcode’ crap.
4. People will be out and about with CV19 and not know it, making any data very skewed (as we’re seeing with the evidence that it was in Paris last Dec).

South Korea seems to claim the biggest success.
It's definitely worth the try but I have some doubts it'll be deal breaker. I can also see some people 'aving a larf' by claiming they have covid just to alarm others who'll be worried when they get a message

Don't think a test has to be done
" The only thing that users can do is report if they have Covid-19 symptoms. Within the app there is one central question: "how are you feeling today?" If you feel unwell you tap on the prompt and are asked whether you have a high temperature and a persistent cough. (Both are defined within the app). You are also asked to select which date the symptoms started.
Having both of these symptoms indicates a person may have coronavirus and this information can then be sent to the NHS. Users will then see a link that tells them to follow health advice – such as self-isolating – and potential details for testing. When a user submits they have symptoms, the health service’s technology will determine whether the people they have been nearby need to be notified. This is done with a risk algorithm and not everyone will instantly be notified."
