    This sounds great, but what desirable will it do for people who are not allowed to have their telephones on them in locations like at work? Hobby Lobby as an example forbids their personnel from having their mobile telephones (and smart watches as well) on them even as at work, and makes them lock them away of their lockers and also you can’t pass get it till after your shift. Apple and Google are absolutely right to call it an exposure notification carrier and my friend Mike is absolutely right to have his navy of contact tracers. A exact public health interview has to be completed for everyone who tests positive..this may be carried out through an online public fitness platform. Public Health runs parallel to any app.

    Who in their right mind would trust Apple and Google and other big tech companies?
