@prologic Once in a while I check what's up with a contact tracing app in my country (it's open source and funded by one of our ministries) and it actually is strongly focused on privacy. It has a different problem though: it had a very bumpy start that degraded its reputation a lot. As a result, you can count distributed keys on a single hand.

@lukem right I see. Same problem occurred here with government tempted apps at the same contact tracing solution but ultimately failed

@lukem @prologic What I wanna know is why our Apple and Google releasing the exposure notification system on their platforms only now how many months later?

@prologic it's a fairly big project involving two huge corporations, numerous state actors from dozens of countries around the world, hundreds of developers working on apps consuming the protocol and user communities sponsoring the whole process and demanding transparency. Don't get me wrong - I do feel it took more time than it could but I also feel we severely underestimate how gargantuan this whole thing is.

@lukem I agree, and you are right. However its all but a bit too late for it to be really effective now? I mean "Contact Tracing for Patient Zero" is best used at the start of an outbreak to contain the spread. Now it's just all a bit silly. If all 7.6B of us just stayed home for a month (_what's a month out of our lives?_) we'd eradicate every known pathogen know to man! But what would I know 🤷♂️_
