“What this app will do is it will tell you if you are within six feet of a person who tested positive, and if you were within six feet of a person who tested positive for 10 minutes,”https://t.co/yTDGnHrpH8
More dehumanizing sowing of discord and playing on people's worst emotions https://t.co/0tOYkltkIs

(1) This is a horrible, very bad, no good, utterly misguided idea. Let's be clear #NewYork, the #tech giants won't save us. And #COVIDAlertNY will just be a dangerous distraction from the evidence-based public steps we really need to keep our state safe.https://t.co/rDOUxXXc0l

"app will tell you if you are within 6' of a person who tested positive"
Expect a flood of lawsuits
MOST postive tests for Covid19 are FALSE POSITIVES

Covid Alert NY does not track your location or use GPS. It does not collect any personal data. It's completely anonymous. The app uses Bluetooth technology to sense proximity to another phone with the same app, but not geographic location. More info at https://t.co/56c43hfvLG

Yes, COVID Alert NY will work in conjunction with similar apps in Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, allowing for regional exposure notifications. Download the app: https://t.co/56c43hfvLG https://t.co/yfR5j1qwqJ

Download the new, free #COVID Alert NY app today. It will alert you if you were in contact with someone who has COVID and is also using the app. It uses bluetooth technology, doesn't track your location and is completely anonymous.
