Reviews: What People Think About COVID Alert NY
Armygurl1997
Rating: 4/5
I Live in Poconos in PA and you would be surprised how many families from NY and NJ I see getting out of cars to go into the stores in this area before hitting the hotels and ski or water park areas. Some have summer houses here and come up over the summer and hunt in the winter. If these apps were all contented with even CT I would say we have a bit better app here. You would be surprised how many PA residents get on busses in the morning to go to NYC jobs and drive to jobs in NJ. Wouldn’t you feel better if you knew the hillbillies and hippies of PA were “Safe”. When I worked in NYC I know I would. How’s my PA app going to interface with yours. This should have been a National App. I love near an interstate that goes from NYC to SF. It’s just a pipe line. Your stuff comes from somewhere.

Recently, I went to a virtual conference, that included talks on coved tracking phone applications, and found this well thought out, safe to use without leak of date to advertising or personal privacy violated by tracking your every move. It uses blue tooth to make brief connection to people you are in blue tooth range, and sends encrypted messages to a secure server. Should you, or someone else, contract COVID, the case will be asked if their phone blue tooth contacts can be notified. If so they are send encrypted messages, suggesting you get tested and monitor your self. It really only works if enough people install it that new cases can mostly automatically get contacts, even people on a cross town bus you don’t know notified. I installed it for you, I hope you will install it for me!

It took just a couple of minutes to set up the app and the directions and information was very nicely presented. Privacy is fully protected. Nobody gets your name if you get an alert, so it’s just up to you to use it and get tested. Perfect for privacy paranoid New Yorkers. Also has nice daily data on number of cases. Hope enough people use it to have some effect.
