We were having lunch in a busy Cafe one day and had to share a table. Our dining companions were a charming retired couple, and she and I had already established many common interests when the Dread Question came up for Roger, my OH, and Head of the Geekforce at Gamma Science.

Will You use "The App"? I asked the Head of the Geekforce, "Will you use the Government's new Contact-Tracing App, and should I take off my Tinfoil Hat now?" Here's a walk through the debate.
