Contact tracing apps were NEVER going to work. There are numerous fundamental technical problems but those aren’t even worth getting into, because people won’t use this shit.

Smartphone contact tracing is an absurd silver bullet pipe dream from a bunch of hammers who see the world as full of nails. It won’t work, can’t work, and will not ever work.

How much more effort are people going to waste on this?? Every time this comes up on HN the horde mass downvotes anyone who dares to dissent. It’s been almost five months now.
