Unfortunately those lists are mandated by law. We had an idea to pitch to the government to introduce a better system but they won't hear it after RKI's/SAP's super-magic contact tracing app they spent 15 million euro on...
- Godel_unicode 6y agoI think it's important to remember how March-us was thinking. It was much more important back then to have a working system than the best possible system, and frankly if this is the price of good contact tracing it's probably worth it.
- junon 6y agoThat's the problem, though - we're finding that the majority of exposures are coming from super-spreader events, not one-off, individual encounters. They haven't released statistics yet for how good it's been working, so there's no way to know if their approach was helpful. Even then, SAP is the one that developed it for 15 million. The important bits were already completely by the universities. SAP just made a UI for it - for 15 million euros. That's an insane, absurd price to pay.
