RE: Covid-19 contact-tracing apps
Hello friend @awah, great article.
What do you think about the contract-tracing apps?
The truth this has become a very interesting discussion, we do not know how effective an application like this can be, the data can be used to pursue, it is a very complex situation taking into account that there is a number of people who are going to any device or medicine that keeps you away from the virus.
Times of crisis, atypical times, times of uncertainty.
I agree so much uncertainty that no one really knows how the world will move forward. I think some things will go back to normal relatively quickly but some things will never be the same again. Only time will tell.
Hi @fucho80, @awah
Interesting convo.
ps.
In Poland our authorities have been discussing some models in order to decide what decisions should be made.
One which I particulary liked:
We're building 2 different groups. Everyone would receive form where he/she need to decide if he/she wants to belong to 1st or 2nd group.
People who are afraid of becoming sick (old, sick, with weak immune system or just simply to scared to take a risk).
All those people will not be allowed to exit house within next 2 months. Full house quarantine. Those people would receive financial support from goverment, would have their taxes reduced etc. Also food would be provided. Their only responsibility is to stay SAFE at home.
Everyone else - can be allowed to go to work, masks still necessary, social distancing still part of daily life. However this would allow economy to go back partly to normal.
It's being pointed out, that treating high-risk people and young and strong ones as one group, with similar restrictions (or lack of those restrictions) is a major mistake.
Also closing down all businesses and supporting financially entire economy is a huge expense. So focusing on giving full support to group 1, and allowing rest population to get back to their life could be cheaper and more efficient.
I wonder what's your opinion
Yours, Piotr

Yes, I like the idea of choice here. I have met (in the none physical sense) someone who is so paranoid about leaving the house at all - she was crying at the prospect. I have also seen the opposite where people are out in public behaving as if nothing as changed.
As we come out of lockdown, there will be some that it will be perceived as just too early to be out again. Especially the old and the vulnerable.
Cool.
