The US is rolling out digital contact tracing. How has it been working in other countries?

vox.com - by Shirin Ghaffary - April 18, 2020

If and when lockdown restrictions are lifted in the US, would you agree to let the government anonymously track your interactions with people within a 6-foot radius to control the spread of Covid-19?

That’s an increasingly urgent question as President Trump and state governors debate how and when to safely reopen the US economy — and as technology is being touted as a solution that would help people reenter public life.

And tech giants are stepping up. Last week, Apple and Google announced a plan to turn phones into opt-in Covid-19 tracking machines that would, if all goes as planned, make it easier for health officials to identify and alert people if they’ve been exposed to the virus.

San Diego: #16 on California Healthy Counties ranking

Thu, 2011-08-25 01:10 — admin

Early this year, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin released their rankings of the health of residents in almost every county in the nation based upon 2010 data. The "County Health Rankings" report, which used 27 measures to gauge public health in all 50 states, ranked San Diego County as California's 16th healthiest county.

The information should be “a call for action for communities to work together to address the things that are influencing their health,” said Patrick Remington, an associate dean at the University of Wisconsin and a study director. “These rankings tell us that where we live matters to our health.”

According to experts, it is predictable that residents in California’s five healthiest counties — Marin, San Benito, Placer, Santa Clara and San Mateo — are also among the wealthiest and best educated. Residents in the five unhealthiest counties — Trinity, Del Norte, Siskiyou, Lake and Yuba — have incomes nearly half of the statewide median and live in isolated areas of Northern California.

In Southern California, Orange County ranked sixth, Los Angeles County ranked 26th, Riverside County 29th and Imperial County 37th.
