ARD (public TV, Channel One) did an update on the new virus App, and talked about results.
A week into downloading the App....the news people report that around 12-million Germans did the download (out of 83-million). More to come over the next couple of weeks? I'd anticipate that another five million by the day thirty of the release.
The one problem with the release? You have to have a more modern phone (Iphone 6 or Android 6 model minimum). So the guys who've held their old smartphones for five years or more? Screwed mostly. What is said is that the vast majority of Germans have the newer model phones in their hands (suggesting 85-percent).
That's one difference with Germans that I've noticed since the technology era started....some Germans just don't dump a phone after two or three years. A handful of older Germans are proud of the fact that they still have the same cellphone that they purchased back in 2007.
Bugs or hacking? A bug or two has come up but nothing that amounts to stoppage. So far, no one says anything about hacking.
