I know Trump always overpromises, so I was expecting to be underwhelmed, but not THIS underwhelmed. I think I could have created approximately the same thing overnight, using info that was already available across the web. With just me and one whiz-kid youngster to modernize my code, I could have saved Google the cost of the other 1698 employees.
Here is the equally unimpressive site created by Google’s sister company, Verily, for screening in two California counties.
In addition to those two sites, there is another which is kinda-sorta related to Trump’s claim. Jared Kushner’s brother, Joshua, is co-founder of the health insurance start-up Oscar, which recently released an online tool to locate COVID-19 testing centers in some areas. At least in the past, Jared Kushner has had a financial interest in Oscar.
Look, they are getting these websites up much more quickly than they would have 50 years ago, which is Trump’s frame of reference. So stop the hating! This is a nasty post, but that’s typical of NBC! Now get off my lawn!!
