I KNOW THERE ARE CNN STORIES THAT SAY DIFFERENT....BUT THERE AEE QUOTES FROM THE COMPANY BELOW.
Verily, a healthcare tech company also owned by Alphabet, said it was leading the effort to develop the web tool, with the help of an undisclosed number of Google employees.
We are in the early stages of development, and planning to roll testing out in the (San Francisco) Bay Area, with the hope of expanding more broadly over time," Verily spokeswoman Kathleen Parkes said.
About 1,700 Google workers have volunteered to help with coronavirus-related efforts, according to a person familiar with the matter, but it is unclear whether all of them are involved with developing the new website.
Carolyn Wang, another Verily spokeswoman, said it initially aimed to assess testing needs for people more prone to catching the virus, such as healthcare workers. But she said Verily now plans to trial the system more broadly at several sites around the San Francisco region.

Thanks, for the information. I was under the impression from the Presidential presser, yesterday, this was for everyone NOT a pilot program in SF.
Amazing how we can "spin" the truth.
An interesting direct quote from the designers.

Hum....Google has 3 very large office as in SF. Is this mainly to benefit Google? Why not do a pilot in an affected area like NY or WA?
This is smelling very fishy....MOO
