I got an exposure notification on my phone this morning, but it only tells me that I was possibly exposed to COVID

Not where I may have been exposed, only that I may have been exposed to it five days ago, which doesn't help me at all.

Yes, I am fully vaccinated. Yes, I got my booster. Yes, I still wear a mask everywhere I go. But that sh!t is very frustrating.

You're supposed to go get tested. -- nm* - con_carne Jan 19, 12:20
I turned off the notifications. I would get literally 200 per day because I work on campus. -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 19, 11:56 4
- The one here uses Bluetooth to talk to nearby phones to determine exposure so you wouldn't get that many notices -- nm* - zork Jan 19, 12:06 2
  - ours as well. I'm in academic buildings, in the library, etc. I pass tens of thousands of people every day. -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 19, 12:20 1
    - Here, the exposure has to be more than passing, i.e. 15+ minutes -- nm - zork Jan 19, 12:27
- I live in such a bubble - I have had zero notifications -- nm - decline Jan 19, 12:06
Same when I get notified here. Just a date (intended to protect the health privacy of others I believe) -- nm - ty97 Jan 19, 11:56
I would imagine every single person in the US gets this email every day by now... -- nm - Beaker Jan 19, 11:48 10
- Tennessee doesn’t participate in this system so we get nothing here. Shocker. -- nm - kelly Jan 19, 12:09 1
  - Yeah I don't think NC does either. -- nm - sycor Jan 19, 12:16
- It was a text message, and it's the first one I've received -- nm - Mr. Havens Jan 19, 11:57 1
  - Click here for virus -- nm - oblique Jan 19, 12:09
- Most people don't have it enabled. It requires all parties to have it enabled + reporting of the positive. -- nm - ty97 Jan 19, 11:57
- I got a call from my county basicly wanting to do tracing since I came up positive -- nm - eag Jan 19, 11:55
- Pfft, I live in Tennessee. I’m lucky governmental health groups can spell Covid, much less trace it. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 19, 11:52 2
  - We only report numbers on Wednesday now (both county and state). If we ignore it, it doesn’t exist. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jan 19, 12:07 1
    - I don’t know how you and David have lasted this long. I want to walk around with a tire iron and Gilooly people all damn day. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 19, 12:23
- I have never received one. - Spawn Jan 19, 11:49
