Phone to tell you if you're at risk - Crankcase

I see both Apple and Google are "working on" the tech to tell you if you have come in contact with an infected person. All done by your phone talking to others via Bluetooth when in proximity to other people.

They seem to have thought about privacy and so on.

What do you all think? I guess it helps to get an alert two weeks after you passed a stranger somewhere that he was was infected and therefore you might also be, but it's a scary alert to get of course.

I think it's a good use of tech, if it works as described.
