I appreciate you looking at the other side. To explain my view point, in this system it seems like all of the risk is put on the infected party who reports themselves. By decreasing the level of control they have, I believe you will see a decrease in the number of adoptions. It is valid to think about the non-infected user wanting to have this information, but today they don't even have this information so to even know they were exposed on their commute is above and beyond what is in place today.

I guess my original comment is a bit vague. When I look at these protocols I am interested in how large scale adversaries (Nation State) would use this technology, but also small scale adversaries (day-to-day person you are not friendly with). I think its also important to note as others have, that being outed as having the virus does put people at risk of violence in some places.
