Topic 3: Life after the pandemic: Contract tracing apps haven't performed as expected.

To be clear: The apps work just fine. People just haven't downloaded them and turned them on. One explanation is that this is due to fear of giving away privacy data. Another is that people just don't know these apps exist. That second explanation has more to due with failure to promote than fear of government tracking.

What do you think?
