There wouldn't be 3 million new patients per day. Wouldn't each phone just need to download the newly-discovered cases since the last time they checked?

- est31 7y agoEach patient creates a new key per day. Only those keys are uploaded. So everyone who is positive in the app needs their keys to be uploaded. At least this would be a reasonable design choice of the app. Maybe the designers of the app assume you actually follow the quarantine that infected people should do and don't leave your home. In that case, the app can stop uploading of those daily keys.
- FabHK 7y agoSay a newly identified case is assumed to have been infectious for the preceding week. My reading of the spec is that they’d upload 7 diagnosis keys (which all devices would have to download).
