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

The Google|Apple protocol and many others are recording proximity events between devices, and no location data. This data is private until a user releases it for others to match against their own logs on their own devices to see if they've been exposed.

That part I understand. But I still don't understand your question. Sorry to be thick.

> Assumes location data is dispensible There is no location data, only prox data. Maybe by correlating with other BLE prox data that _does_ log location, you have location data to dispense but that's outside the scope of these designs.

Things we do have to worry about: BLE loggers that slurp up the positive broadcasts and correlates that with say, someone who was in your store, and you start keeping a list of COVID+ people to advertise crap at.

My point is that the location history, not proximity tracing may be the essential thing for the public health response. Or it may be that proximity data is enough, or at least good enough given the privacy tradeoff. The answer is not obvious and needs testing, is my argument

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.

Have you heard of the Cynefin framework? I've been pondering its applicability to our current predicament. “Instructive patterns can emerge if the leader conducts experiments that are safe to fail."pic.twitter.com/NdHvwF95DQ
