@DavidClinchNews I haven’t seen a way to do this passive tracking in a way that public health officials believe will be particularly effective. — PolitiTweet.org

Last point for now: 80 percent of the commentary you read about this today is going to be about the privacy implications. But before we even get there, we need to talk more about why people think that Bluetooth-based contact tracing is an effective way of tracking exposures. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a common misconception about what’s happening. Google and Apple aren’t jointly releasing a contact tracing app. They’re creating an API that public health apps can use. Which means you still need to figure out a way to get people to download a 3rd party app. Very hard. — PolitiTweet.org
