I'm just going to respond that in fairness, I don't think my response is shifting over to consent. I think my point with respect to COVID Alert and my point here is that if you want people to trust in these programs, you need to explain in as many forums as possible and as clearly as possible what data is collected and what's being used. That happened with COVID Alert. I'd argue that it did not happen in this context.
