The timing here makes sense – if anything it's a little late, in fact – as the COVID-19 pandemic health emergency has come to an end (though the disease persists), and most US States have apparently shut down operations for exposure notifications anyway.

I can't effort post on this atm but when Exposure Notifications were announced it was very very dramatic.

Sounds like the seeds of a fun little augmented reality game they should totally bring it back for halloween and pretend it's about zombies or vampires, etc.

I refuse to believe the covid era ever actually happened and it just ended here less than a year ago.

Germany shut down theirs in May or at least the one that was recommended.
It was actually pretty cool (from a technical perspective)

I never got a notification and I assume it was always just the current excuse for google/apple to collect more data and store it forever for marketing purposes.

When I tested positive for the Wu Flu, it took those infection tracers like 4 months to call me and verify if I had potentially exposed anyone else. A bit useless if they're that late, tbh.
