    Hantavirus outbreak on MV Hondius sparks global contact tracing. Passengers disembarked on St. Helena on April 24 without tracing.

  2. "Countries worldwide scrambled on Thursday to trace people who had left the ‌cruise ship hit by a deadly hantavirus outbreak before it was anchored off the coast of Cape Verde to prevent further spread of the disease, which has so far killed three people.

    "The ship's operator, Oceanwide Expeditions, said Thursday that 30 people disembarked the MV Hondius in St. Helena, a British territory where the ship ​made a stop on its way to Cape Verde on April 24, before the outbreak was reported."

  4. #ContactTracing software could accurately gauge #COVID19 risk
    #Epidemiologists in the# UK analyzed 7 million people who were notified that they were exposed to #COVID-19 by the NHS COVID-19 app in #England and #Wales between April 2021 and February 2022. Researchers found the app did, in fact, accurately translate the duration and proximity of a COVID-19 exposure to a relevant epidemiological risk score. Time spent with infected individuals is a key determinant of risk. arstechnica.com/science/2023/1

  5. Heute, am Tag nachdem die #CoronaWarnApp schlafengelegt wurde, feiere ich, dass es einer internationalen Gruppe von Wissenschaftler:innen gelungen ist, mit #dp3t ein funktionierendes System für eine #Kontaktverfolgung zu entwerfen, die nicht auf #Überwachung basiert und Vorlage für die deutsche #CWA wurde.

    Besonders danken möchte ich Marcus, Marvin und allen anderen Freiwilligen, die die offizielle CWA zur @CCTG weiterentwickelt haben, obwohl sie nichts von den 220 Millionen € abbekommen haben.

    Erst mit der #CCTG stand eine App zur Verfügung, die alle Kriterien für vertrauenswürdige Apps erfüllt, die @digitalcourage (mit mir) definiert hat: digitalcourage.de/digitale-sel

    Vielen Dank auch an die #FOSS-Projekte @fdroidorg und @microg, die wichtige Voraussetzungen für die CCTG geschaffen haben.

  6. CW: Long thread/17

    Think of how we replaced #ContactTracing with #ExposureNotification. Contact tracing has a qualitative foundation: public health workers establish rapport with infected people, win their trust, and get them to fully enumerate the places they've been and the activities they participated in.

    By contrast, exposure notification measures whether two Bluetooth radios were within range of each other for a predetermined interval.

  7. Il 31 dicembre chiude #Immuni, nonostante le #fakenews #novax sulla sua permanenza. Un esperimento finito male, strozzato in culla dalla mancanza di informazione e dalla mancanza di supporto umano al #contacttracing digitale.

  8. Am kommenden Donnerstag findet der nächste netzpolitische #Stammtisch statt. Wir sprechen über das digitale #ContactTracing am Beispiel vom Kanton Bern und den #Impfausweis in Europa und in der Schweiz. Zu Gast sind Adrienne Fichter und Thomas Lohninger!

  9. CW: Out and about. Brunch at a favorite resto.

    Looks like not serving #coffee is the #NewNormal here at Conti's. No coffee since they reopened. They still serve #tea though. I don't get it. 🤷‍♀️ What does #covid19 (which means need for #ContactTracing), #PhysicalDistancing (which means entertaining less customers) and limited services (to lessen likelihood of catching/spreading germs) have to do with coffee? 😶

    Guess I'm not having any cake here. (No, it's not the same with tea.)

  11. CW: Went out again today. 🚶🏻‍♀️ Errands. 3 weeks since I last stepped out.

    Destination: the mall, of course. 😁
    Most #businesses are open. 👍
    It's almost normal again.
    Well...
    The #NewNormal.
    You know.
    With #facemasks #faceshields #PhysicalDistancing #temperaturechecks #ContactTracing #QRcodes and neverending sanitizing. 👍

    Now if I were to be negative and gripe about the state of things..... Where did all the Banana Loaf go!!?! 😫 But because I'm easy, I settle for a Choco Marble Loaf. 😋 #food

  19. "One of the greatest dangers of having many options is if multiple apps get deployed, and those apps don’t talk to each other or share information. This would lead to fragmentation of the population, with people using different apps reporting data to different people, and it would significantly reduce the effectiveness of all of the solutions. If we are going to deploy digital #ContactTracing, we need everyone on the same platform quickly ..."
