Disappointed not to see more attention paid to this release. Also would like to see other states picking it up immediately.
With Canadian https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/covid-19-exposure-notification-app-now-available-1.5046868 https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/covid-19-exposure-... and Irish apps already available, it seems like states should be able to copy from one of them.
https://www.telecompaper.com/news/most-irish-have-downloaded-covid-19-tracker-app-broadband-usage-jumps-40-during-crisis-study--1349252 https://www.telecompaper.com/news/most-irish-have-downloaded... says that 60% of Irish cellphone owners have downloaded it. Some people won't ever download it because of privacy paranoia but it'd be nice to get people who will a chance to do so.
- jberryman 6y agoThe FAQ about how the VA app works is an interesting read. I do wish it was open source though, so I could really advocate for it even for my friends who are very privacy conscious or wary of tech.
