Rather than rolling out whatever Apple and Google cook up nationally, we should try rival approaches regionally in the United States and assess. The published design bakes in lots of assumptions about disease spread and is not auditable. Also assumes location data is dispensable

You generate the list of Covid+ people to advertise at not by James Bond sleuthing, but by handing the search query log to AdSense. This is my more general problem with this whole approach, we're play acting and pretending like a whole surveillance economy doesn't already exist

But the search query result log is "this device saw these devices in this 14 day span", it is only useful if you have other prox data to correlate it against.

OK. The BLE prox stuff is usually scoped to a region, but that may be determined by which app you install, not location data actually being collection on your phone, but we'll see.pic.twitter.com/Ot4cvJU2QK

The fact that the answer is not obvious, and that the situation is moving so quickly, should bias us towards taking action and evaluating the data returned.

Absolutely agree. I think having a big country to experiment on, we should also be trying stuff in parallel.

I'm going to charitably guess that Apple and Google were smart enough to include epidemiologists in the design of this.
