So, people have lost interest. But what of it?
It's basically been shown to be irrelevant anyway. The app has been used
once.

It will be interesting to observe whether the government takes on the Apple
and Google project.

> Conclusion:

> Over 5 days, the app has been downloaded a maximum of 190,000 times i.e.
> 38,000/day. A more likely number is about 100,000 times i.e 20,000/day.
