In which case how are you able to agree and confirm that you have been in contact with that carrier. Seems to me the whole thing is open to abuse. If I am contacted I will need to know where, when and by whom I might have been infected so I know that the risk is genuine.
What to others think?
I would be tempted to carry on life as I am currently doing, the person who took a pint of my lurgyfied blood a couple of weeks ago suggested although not officially sanctioned the antibodies present conferred a level of protection.

As a result I'm considerably more relaxed about the whole affair, track and trace.........I'm not sure I would converse with them any more than I would any other unsolicited caller.

The top and bottom of it is simple, I'm not prepared to give up any more of my data to be misused than humanly possible, no one needs to know where I've been, what I've spent my money on, and with whom, for the moment I cannot either contract nor pass on the virus, and if asked to provide contact details at the entrance to an establishment, they wouldn't relate to any type of reality that's for sure
