Get. The. App.

If you are from Germany, that is. This app will only work if enough people use it and there is no reason not to (except maybe not having a smartphone or one that is too old). People who are regularly protesting against digital tools used by the government because they are very concerned about privacy are actively endorsing this app. It is actually well done.

I'm serious, if you haven't yet, get it now!

Comic transcript

Panel 1:
H: They just released an app that will tell you if you’ve recently been with someone who has the corona virus. Without tracking you or who you’ve been with.
G: What? How?
Panel 2:
H: The problem with the corona virus is that it infects people before we can test for it. So we use something under our control, called Bluetooth, that spreads between phones in a similar fashion that viruses spread between people to turn the whole country into a giant simulation.
Panel 3:
G: Soooo... what you’re saying is ... the corona app ... is a virus.
H: Yeah ... Wait, what? ... No!
