Virginia launches first COVID-19 exposure notification app in US using Google-Apple API
Arrrgh. @heavypound is correct. I appolgize and retract my early morning statement that we would try this in California for employee clusters -- self-reporting is not supported. This app requires a six digit pin from VPH (virgina public health) upon confirmation of a positive test result.1. That is what I get for reading fast before dawn, before coffee and not attempting to submit a "positive" as a test.2. THE GOOD: news coverage says that interoperability between countries (which also implies US states) is now automatically built into the API after feedback from EU countries.3. THE BAD: we are doing things state-by-state. -
Virginia launches first COVID-19 exposure notification app in US using Google-Apple API
Our medical practice will recommend today that a couple of large local CALIFORNIA employers have staff install this Virginia app ASAP.
Best parts:
1. It works in any location.2. The API shares reported notifications “across countries” as a result of EU feedback. Here in the USA that implies (not guarantees) cross-state functionality when/if other states catch up.
Note the “works in any location” part of this design. All you need is a meaningful pool of users such as:
1,500 employees at California company A
or14,000 employees on the campus of California company B -

Coronavirus forcing Apple to postpone February 10 China retail reopen [u]
The discussion amongst our medical staff is that China’s lockdown has blocked the resupply of IV fluids and meds and hospital supplies into the quarantine area.They feel that is the major reason for the differential in death rate between China and the rest of the world
Caveat: that’s an assessment from half a world away, and only a few conversations. YMMV
