- zaroth 7y agoWill everyone who blasted Trump in this entire post apologize? Don’t hold your breathe.
- jjeaff 7y agoIf I could make a list of the people least deserving of an apology, Trump would be near the top.
- jshevek 7y agoPeople with integrity apologize based on their own actions, not their opinions of the qualities of the other party. I apologise to douchebags regularly, if I'm wrong, though I'm very clear about the limitations of the apology.
- zaroth 7y agoNo, no not apologizing to Trump. Apologizing to HN readers for spreading the fake news even after Google themselves came out with a statement saying that they are in fact doing what Trump announced.
- jpster 7y agoNo. Did you actually watch the press conference? What Trump announced is what Verily is building. But he implied it would be nationwide. It’s not. > Government in developing a nationwide website that includes information about COVID-19 symptoms, risk and testing information. This sounds like it’s in addition to what Verily is building. So I doubt it’s the diagnostic and get to testing site function that Verily’s working on.
- zaroth 7y agoIt’s absolutely separate from the Verily work, because they explicitly say that. Other than that all we know is it’s “information about COVID symptoms, risk, and testing information”. Which at least aligns roughly with what was announced on Friday.
