I wrote about this - solving Covid-19 would require some new ways of looking at privacy. The trajectory is evolving. Apple and Google are coming together to engineer a modern contact tracing.

That’s the core idea of the program that Apple and Google are building into their mobile operating systems . Once operational, all phones constantly will emit coded identification tags using Bluetooth. At the same time, phones will record the tags of all nearby devices. The coded tags by themselves are untraceable and anonymous. But when someone finds out they have coronavirus, the infected person triggers the system to tell every phone that recorded one of their tags that the owner may have been in proximity to them. It all works through the brilliance of the same encryption technology that powers e-commerce, bitcoin, and coded emails. (Fortune)

As that happens, some of the top names in fintech are jumping on board the U.S. government's $2.2 trillion stimulus program. PayPal got approval to make loans as part of the Paycheck Protection Program to its 10 million merchant customers. Intuit QuickBooks is also in on the lending program and helping customers provide the payroll information needed to apply. The American government is working to fix the paralysis from Covid-19.

While that goes, Amazon is having a moment. The ecommerce pioneer  will stop accepting new customers for deliveries from Whole Foods or AmazonFresh as it cannot keep with demand
