Apple and Google are today announcing a major partnership. Two of the world’s largest tech companies are joining forces to build a new contact tracing technology for the COVID-19 outbreak. Apple CEO Tim Cook and Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced the partnership today. The aim of the partnership is to build a new contact tracing tech that will make use of Bluetooth to help reduce the spread of the virus, with privacy and security in mind. The companies will be working on a “comprehensive” solution that will include APIs and OS-level integration that will enable contact tracing via Bluetooth. The solution will be rolled out in two different phases. In May, Apple and Google will release APIs to enable interoperability between Android and iOS devices. The APIs, which can be used by public health authority apps, will allow devices to broadcast anonymous identifiers to devices that a person meets. This way, if a user tests positive for COVID-19 on an app from a public health authority, the people that they meet will be notified via these new APIs used by the apps. Later in the year, Apple and Google will enable much deeper, OS-level integration. The companies plan on building a Bluetooth Low Energy-based contract tracing platform to their own operating systems. “This is a more robust solution than an API and would allow more individuals to participate, if they choose to opt in, as well as enable interaction with a broader ecosystem of apps and government health authorities,” the companies said in a joint press statement. The following two images explain how the technology would work: |

Have they had anyone die? How many hospitalizations? How is the equipment supply? Friend at Truman said they didnt have anyone die, not very many hospitalizations either. They sent anyone home who had mild cases. Was also told they are doing great in terms of equipment needed. |

I have a friend who's hooked into South Korea and I just talked to him yesterday. He said they're doing that there, or at least a variation of it that shows the places that COVID people visited in the previous days. He thought the three things that helped Korea were this system, a culture of masks, and high obedience to governmental decrees. I didn't really understand the value of this, though. If the virus is widespread, then hits are going to show up everywhere. The only advantage I saw was that it might freak people out so much that they'll all stay home. |
