Is your calculation correct? You only need to download the Diagnosis Keys. How would that be 48MB?

- est31 7y agoI used the definition 1 MB == 1 000 000 bytes (there are several definitions for what a megabyte is). Each diagnosis key has 16 bytes. 16 bytes * 3 million patients = 48 million bytes = 48 MB. Note that not just the diagnosis are uploaded but also day numbers. Those follow strict power laws and compress pretty well with even the simplest entropy coding schemes to a sub byte size.
