Re: Privacy-protecting contact tracer for COVID-19? [was Re: A Moment of Silence #Foremembrance Today at 19:06 CET, 2:06 pm EDT, 11:06 am PDT, and Saturday at 2:06am in Hong Kong & Taipei]

Moses
I am not an epidemiologist and I dont know one off the bat but
I am an expert systems designer and my expertise is about extracting
expertise
from human experts, I may have access to the required expertise through
knowledge bases
You may need expertise of the epidiemiologist rather than the human itself
then let me know maybe I can help - what are the questions you need
answered?
