You need lots of coverage for these things to work, plus you need reliable reports of all infections. Governments have access to both these datasets through mobile carriers and it s gdpr-compliant, so they can start tracing spread today
- rswail 7y agoGovernments could only get the data down to the range of individual mobile cells, which is way too large to use for any useful contact tracing. That's why BLE works, it's because it's a very low distance technology only phones actually within a distance that are relevant are going to show up.
- lun4r 7y agoperhaps even too small distance bc it might not connect two persons sitting on opposite sides of a bus/airplane/... while they could still transmit the virus between them (less likely, but still)
