RT @Farzad_MD: 1/ Last week I posted about automated digital contact tracing apps- lots of discussion since: @CaseyNewton @DKThomp articles… — PolitiTweet.org

@jandersen fair point! — PolitiTweet.org
Casey Newton @CaseyNewton
@rstephens I’ve seen lots of privacy solutions for these apps. The problem is the the apps themselves seem ineffective regardless — PolitiTweet.org
Casey Newton @CaseyNewton
@jandersen I note in my piece that there are some good ways tech can augment humans — offer people a way to upload contacts to a central place, for example. I’m just less convinced about the efficacy of these passive solutions. But I’m keeping an open mind! — PolitiTweet.org
Casey Newton @CaseyNewton
@jasonwbade @joshelman @moskov you still need data to inform the health QR code though. if it’s powered by passive tracking I think we’re in trouble. — PolitiTweet.org
Casey Newton @CaseyNewton
@joshelman @moskov It’s not just adoption of the app — it’s trying to figure out which signals are useful. And GPS doesn’t get to within 6 feet of granularity — PolitiTweet.org
Casey Newton @CaseyNewton
@moskov ... in which case maybe there is an app-based solution that helps more. But I'm open to all arguments here — PolitiTweet.org
Casey Newton @CaseyNewton
@moskov If most of the spread can be attributed to family clusters and rarer "superspreader" events, it seems like you actually can reach most of the highest risk people via their contacts. One glaring exception would be cases where an infected person took mass transit ... — PolitiTweet.org
Casey Newton @CaseyNewton
@alexstamos i agree! — PolitiTweet.org
Casey Newton @CaseyNewton
@alexstamos again, because (1) doesn’t seem like they’d be in the best position to do it even if they wanted to, and (2) they don’t want to, for the reason you mention — PolitiTweet.org
Casey Newton @CaseyNewton
@alexstamos I mean, FB/Goog have already released mobility maps, FB/Apple have released screening tools, everyone’s donating money. I see lots of action — I just think contact tracing is a place where maybe big tech should sit out — PolitiTweet.org
Casey Newton @CaseyNewton
@jtemple very good piece!! — PolitiTweet.org
Casey Newton @CaseyNewton
@TomPaineToday @alexstamos this specific thing I don’t think will work — location data isn’t granular enough, for reasons I go into in that piece. — PolitiTweet.org
Casey Newton @CaseyNewton
@alexstamos interesting! I wonder if people would be comfortable doing that. — PolitiTweet.org
Casey Newton @CaseyNewton
Facebook is already getting inquiries from government agencies about working on contact tracing. I expect other big tech companies are as well. But I've yet to see a persuasive case that their involvement would be effective. If you believe otherwise please let me know! — PolitiTweet.org
Casey Newton @CaseyNewton
What IS effective for contact tracking? Hiring human beings. The former director of the CDC told me we might need 300,000 people doing this work. And the good news is a lot of it can be done over the phone https://t.co/IFZiKYVzxs — PolitiTweet.org

There's been a lot of writing recently about the use of apps to help us track exposure to COVID-19. I talked to public health experts this week who explained why they're unlikely to be effective https://t.co/w7p6F9avVP https://t.co/LrAGhswwuK — PolitiTweet.org
