@verge why does this feel like a threat — PolitiTweet.org
Casey Newton @CaseyNewton
Answer seems to be: yes, patients will be issued one-time codes to prevent them from spamming the system. But as @eugenewei notes, this gets harder once we move into the realm where people are testing themselves at home. — PolitiTweet.org

Is there anything in the Apple/Google API to stop me from pretending I tested positive to troll everyone my phone passed on the street? They’ll never know who triggered the alert, right? Seems ripe for abuse. — PolitiTweet.org
Casey Newton @CaseyNewton
@DKThomp at 12 percent adoption, likelihood that two people passing by each other both have the app is around 1.44 percent. I don’t get how that winds up making much of a difference — PolitiTweet.org
Casey Newton @CaseyNewton
@DKThomp yeah I’ve just been surprised on how little evidence there is that Bluetooth-based tracking has been particularly effective anywhere it has been tried — PolitiTweet.org
Casey Newton @CaseyNewton
@DKThomp why is it likely more accurate? why won’t there be more false positives than not? — PolitiTweet.org

@JasonKAlmeida my understanding is that whatever functionality gets built still has to interface with third-party public health apps — PolitiTweet.org
Casey Newton @CaseyNewton
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

@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
Casey Newton @CaseyNewton
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
Casey Newton @CaseyNewton
@drTomFrieden and @Farzad_MD, I’m very curious to get your thoughts on the Apple/Google collaboration! — PolitiTweet.org
Casey Newton @CaseyNewton
From Duke: "Cell phone-based apps recording proximity events between individuals are unlikely to have adequate discriminating ability or adoption to achieve public health utility, while introducing serious privacy, security, and logistical concerns." https://t.co/yTmlylr5R0 — PolitiTweet.org
Casey Newton @CaseyNewton
It could also reduce likelihood of state agencies to invest in what we know works: hiring human beings to get out on the street and make phone calls. I’m open to the idea of this being effective. I hope it is. But public health experts have been extremely skeptical. — PolitiTweet.org
Casey Newton @CaseyNewton
Just today, I wrote about why Bluetooth-based contact tracing is a flawed solution. - Hard to get population-wide adoption. Singapore managed to get 12%. - BLE data collection is not granular to the level of 6 feet. Can lead to many false positives. https://t.co/b1Nb3aDb23 — PolitiTweet.org

@dialtone_ Singapore, the country with the greatest adoption of one of these apps so far has hit 12%. And its cases are still surging again. How do you get higher adoption than that in the US? — PolitiTweet.org
