--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Yet contact-tracing apps are also an untested medical invention that will be introduced without the sort of safeguards that new drugs are subjected to. Inaccurate information can mislead health officials and citizens in ways that can be as harmful as any failed drug. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Io sono tra i ciritci dell'approccio "app based" però definire quelle app «medical inventions» o dire che «can be as harmful as any failed drug» mi pare un po' scorretto. ...o perlomeno mi lascia perplesso la percezione di un simile uso della tecnologia digitale :-) Grazie, Giovanni. -- Giovanni Biscuolo
