Great idea for #covid19… However, digital contact tracing has serious #privacy issues that have to be considered and perhaps ameliorated.

Fig 2 shows the breakdown of infections into four types:
pre-symptomatic, symptomatic, environmental, and asymptomatic, and they contribute 0.9, 0.8., 0.2, and 0.1 each to the basic reproduction number of 2. To stop the spread of infections, you need to take measures to get the area under the curve to below 1. The paper then shows that when you do quarantining and contact tracing, you can’t get the reproduction number below 1. However, if you improve the speed of quarantining and contact tracing with a digital app/centralized system, then you can get it below 1.

Countries such as China, South Korea, and Israel have already turned to invasive surveillance tools to halt the spread of the coronavirus. But their efficacy is unclear.
