Thank you for this input. FYI, I know this already, it's not a spoiler. Again, I'm trying to partner up with a notable epidemiologist on this, who could provide solid bankable guidance. If any of you know one, please introduce me. We'll probably have better luck finding on via the IEEE blockchains in healthcare working group? Anyway, my thinking is to do two releases... the first with only simple contact tracing and no DIDs asap, and the second with VCs, location analysis and support for antibody testing... down the road when the science is ready. But the key is to /plan/ for forthcoming functionality in the underlying foundational design and data structures up front. This would make us proactive rather than reactive, like the US federal government has been. FYI, Fauci recently "guessed" that immunity would be likely, maybe for 1-2 years, but then he qualified the statement by adding that this was a personal "hope", and we won't know for sure until the science is done. A lot depends on how fast the virus mutates, which by the way, seems to be mutating into something less deadly but more contagious. Anyway, my point is that we don't need to "wait" to plan intelligently and base the design on science... this are the core errors in Trump's logic, he tends to wait and he does not believe in science. And why I think the Trump will screw up contact tracing apps just like they have with everything else. MM PS, /another idea: /it might be interesting to give VCs to CDC intelligence officers to give them access into contact sharing databases. These would be revocable after the pandemic is over, and could theoretically be attenuated when delegated to support staff.
