Centralized or not, app-based contact tracing has not worked anywhere. The countries that do successful tracing do it manually, and when personal data is used, it's only infected people's data. Taiwan's minister explains here

i don't understand the value of this multiplier. Case statistics are not an official census, it's incidental , depending on the criteria with which each region makes tests. Case numbers are unimportant, it's the total infec

considering how sars2 may be infecting through aerosols, it might not be a great idea to cycle for high-risk people . OTOH, keeping people outdoors reduces the infection rate by 19 times , and the sunlight kills the virus in 3 minutes, so
