I’m of the same mind. Those of us with higher risk factors depend on the good will of the community to not throw is under the bus.
We know there are asymptomatic carriers (IE no visible signs of being carriers). It’s uncertain how many of the community are able to unwittingly pass on Covid-19. The most recent analysis has ongoing community infection increasing. Currently 10% of all cases are unable to be attributed to a known carrier, despite increased efforts at manual contact tracing.
If the trend in increasing community transmission from unknown sources continues, the community options may not be optional. .
Nearly 30 per cent of all locally-acquired infections may have been spread by community transmission, up from 19 per cent three weeks ago, the latest government data shows.
This brings the number of confirmed cases acquired by community transmission — meaning authorities have been unable to identify the source of infection — to more than 640, nationally.
P.S.
Certainly, given one of the extended family has been through the process recently, and fortunately returned a negative test. But only after they expanded the testing criteria due to a local hot spot.
And yes, it’s very clear that many of us would not like to go down the path of an enforced App. The moral choice would hopefully be all it needed.
