Google and Apple provided their contact tracing app API to public health companies across the globe. The apps would enable Bluetooth pings between smart devices within 6 and a half feet of each other. And in theory, these apps would alert you if you had actually remained in close contact with someone diagnosed with COVID-19 In practice, public health authorities will have to motivate around 60%people in an offered state or nation to download the app in order to meaningfully conduct contact tracing/exposure alert. Computerworld managing editor Ken Mingis and PCWorld/Macworld’s Michael Simon join Juliet to talk about Apple and Google’s extraordinary cooperation, personal privacy concerns and how state and federal governments will make use of the API.
