The other key thing for the epidemiology community to understand is that ALL of this data is already collected and in unregulated private sector hands. The most helpful thing we can do is get them these data feeds, while the crypto people noodle away on their appshttps://twitter.com/kennyog/status/1254824014876467201 …

Man, it's been weeks since we basically agreed there is _some_ data, not ALL the data. Any progress in figuring out if that data is useful, and worth normalizing centralized location tracking over, as you're doing by exaggerating and generalizing?https://twitter.com/FiloSottile/status/1249002353329668096 …

Or, even more importantly, worth redirecting resources to, and away from solutions that can be deployed universally and with much better accuracy (because privacy preserving and Bluetooth based)?

One thing the DP-PPT effort found from working with epidemiologists is that the location data from GPS and cell tower info isn't accurate enough for proximity tracing. Hence bluetooth. No-one is retaining bluetooth proximity today afaik.

There is a separate case that maybe the GPS data should be opened up to epidemiologists who are trying to identify high traffic or are gathering risk spots. But there's no near-proximity data lake ready to be tapped.
