Similarly, Apple and Google could install mandatory earthquake (or tsunami) message notifications, like they have in Japan now, but why aren't governments implementing it in the US? I'm guessing that the Japanese system simply uses an SMS system for notifications from a central server, but I'm fairly sure that Apple and Google could find a way to update their OS's to make earthquake message notifications mandatory and effective using crowd sourcing. We can also blame the smart phone iOS makers for not having an API for diseases until approximately May 1, 2020, long after the first wave of deaths. I don't blame Apple or Google on this, I blame the states, federal government and apathy of most Americans.Įven if all your conditions were met it still may not work because (a) some people will ignore the warnings that they may be infected or to take action and (b) some people don't carry their smart phones with them all the time (at least 5% of the US population don't own a smart phone). Of course, it's too late to do this after 220K people have died. Only way this will work on iPhones is if all the states are required to use the Apple/Google api's and Apple is forced to turn Exposure Notification on and connect to the local system.
