Your comments are very interesting, and I'd like more input/thoughts about such issues.
However, from your description of the Alice/Bob part, I'm still confused whether you realize that nobody is (or can be) quarantined in the proposed scheme?
The case you describe would, as I understand it be:
"Bob is then advised by his own app not to visit his parents and be careful about not infecting others". A bad joke, sure, but not something that can "send him into quarantine", since nobody on the server side knows that he is in any danger.
I may be missing your point here - but if I am, please clarify and bare with me;-)
- tastroder 7y agoThe point of that scenario was that, if the app takes off it it could quickly turn from a bad joke scenario to one with real impact. Either by Bob taking the reasonable step of self quarantine, unnecessary test + fearful waiting time, or in the worst case the app could be, like it's Chinese equivalent, used to restrict Bob's movement by others at checkpoints. Severside knowledge is pretty irrelevant if an armed guard or angry mob wants you to show the app before letting you get your Sunday brunch.
