10:14:45 <monerobux> [ Ben Adida on Twitter: "1/ Last night, I spent some quality time with the Apple docs on the new contact tracing protocol and APIs they and Google are preparing. I'm quite optimistic about this effort. ] - twitter.com
10:15:24 <Inge-> ^ there are some interesting thoughts in this contact tracing system
12:43:16 <Mumuks[m]> 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
12:43:34 <Mumuks[m]> 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.
12:44:25 <Mumuks[m]> Some town in the USA tested most of its citizens and 30 or 40% gave positive to the antibodies of the Wuhan Coronavirus.
12:44:46 <Mumuks[m]> Most of them were not aware they had been infected
12:45:15 <Mumuks[m]> Eventually everybody will be immune naturally, why is all of this necessary?
17:18:11 <hyc> "eventually" happens after 2-5% of population dies
17:18:17 <hyc> possibly higher than that
17:22:26 <Inge-> Mumuks[m]: citation please
17:22:46 <Inge-> There are still more questions than answers about immunity
17:25:33 <hyc> also there's reports now that the virus can reactivate in people who recovered from it
17:34:06 <rbrunner> Ah, people, relax a little by reading an article how blockchain will help prevent future pandemics and giggle about it like I did: https://www.finextra.com/blogposting/18570/blockchain-and-corona-virus-could-it-prevent-future-pandemics
17:34:45 <hyc> yeesh
17:35:20 <hyc> the bigger plague in this world is mushy thinking
17:36:36 <selsta> rbrunner: did you see my comment here? https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/6278
17:36:48 <selsta> I like the PR but I wonder if we could improve the algorithm
17:37:05 <selsta> It will be super off for someone syncing from scratch
17:38:11 <rbrunner> Well, I have read it, but somehow did not assume that being "super off" while syncing from scratch would be a consequence
17:38:59 <selsta> I don’t know a solution here
