^ there are some interesting thoughts in this contact tracing system

Inge-: the proposal is interesting from a privacy point of view, but explain to me why it is necessary when everybody is naturally becoming immune

I'm talking specifically about this part: 2/ First, my understanding of the health experts' point of view. If we want to reopen society once hospitalization rates are down & testing is more broadly available, but before we have widespread vaccination, we'll need contact tracing to rapidly contain any outbreak.

Some town in the USA tested most of its citizens and 30 or 40% gave positive to the antibodies of the Wuhan Coronavirus.

Most of them were not aware they had been infected

Eventually everybody will be immune naturally, why is all of this necessary?

"eventually" happens after 2-5% of population dies

possibly higher than that

There are still more questions than answers about immunity

also there's reports now that the virus can reactivate in people who recovered from it

Ah, people, relax a little by reading an article how blockchain will help prevent future pandemics and giggle about it like I did: finextra.com/blogposting/18570/bloc…s-could-it-prevent-future-pandemics

yeesh

the bigger plague in this world is mushy thinking

rbrunner: did you see my comment here? monero-project/monero #6278

I like the PR but I wonder if we could improve the algorithm

It will be super off for someone syncing from scratch

Well, I have read it, but somehow did not assume that being "super off" while syncing from scratch would be a consequence

I don’t know a solution here
