About this episode
Contact Tracing. The very phrase has been somewhat poisoned in the United States, where many of us tend to think of “big brother,” that the government is watching. A company out of New Zealand says we have it all wrong and we should instead consider it to be contact “logging.” That company helped New Zealand essentially eliminate the virus. And now, SaferMe has set up shop in Austin, Texas. Does that mean we’re now well on our way to eliminating it here in the Lone Star State? SaferMe’s CEO tells the Jasons it all depends on the politics. But businesses are sure ready and if you tell folks we might be able to re-open the entire economy much quicker, well then, you have their attention. And what attracted SaferMe to Texas? Think farms and barbeque.
