I don't know, I'd probably turn mine on just so that I can get notified if I am within proximity of a high infection risk stranger. I would love to have that kind of notification.

Just for now. Uninstall when the pandemic clears.

I can imagine something like that could lead to people abusing, beating up or killing the infected. It might sound far-fetched, but this was happening in Kenya quite recently.
