There are at least two attempts I’m aware of to do almost exactly this, surely more that I’m not aware of, plus some attempts to do other modeling (like, using people’s tracks from fitness apps, so they don’t have to install a new app.)
I think it’s going to be really unlikely to get enough people to use something like this to be useful, but I’d love to be wrong. If you want to help I’m happy to direct you to them.
I actually think it is plausible that governments and/or Facebook do this, and it becomes widely enough adopted.
A community-level risk score would already be helpful (“based on estimates in your locality, the risk of contracting the virus when taking a bus is X now...) for individuals.
Yeah, I think something at the government (or google/facebook) level would be a lot more effective. (Of course, people might have some qualms. China already did it, of course, and it’s mandatory—but that’s China.)
