The BT in my opinion this is not a silver bullet indeed I do not think there is or in the short term will be one.
But looking at how this system could be used, OK Cunard's Cruise Terminal Southampton, a few days before you depart a BT is posted to you, FOC from Cunard, it’s yours to keep, the day you depart you present yourself at the departure desk and hand over you BT chip which is then scanned, your clear, no covid on your breath, your on board, every day of your 14day cruise you take a test at a predetermined time on the ship, get the all clear, mix and mingle at you leisure in the certain knowledge everyone on board has been tested, oh and add in the safety feature of RAW testing for the covid virus in the waste water.
Now I am no salesman but this looks an easy sell to me, for a £30.00 BT unit and £4.00 a day that's the Cruise industry open for £86.00 per person for a 14 day holiday, and of course, perhaps people would be happy to pay a premium for the knowledge that your traveling companions are tested daily.
And as I have said countless times before Covid it not the reason I invested in the first place.
