Personally have COVID now. Wanted something to keep my mind off the pain. Built https://t.co/a5NBn0R8q8 to help Ontario gather data since province is at testing capacity. Regardless of peopleโs views on COVID or political affiliations, thought itโd be an interesting project.(1/5)
@bjmoonn @TheresaLubowitz Getting a lot of conflicting messaging right now from different people. Will shut this down and stop the service for now until we sort this stuff out.
@bjmoonn @TheresaLubowitz i predict that it's not a problem, based on comments from other lawyers I've heard from, but in the name of erring on the side of caution, I'm deleting collection of name and email. don't want to jeopardize decent data having to get dumped.
@bjmoonn @TheresaLubowitz proof in the spirit of transparency. before and after pictures (you can see that the name and email columns had null where most people chose to not give personal information)
@bjmoonn @TheresaLubowitz ok, scratch that. last act for today in that case, will be deleting the ability for people to enter any names or emails, and all existing names/emails will be removed!
@snapthennap@CarlaMeckelborg support is now included for ALL of Canada! wish twitter allowed us to edit messages :((
in any case, as per my closing statement for the day in the thread, this is btw the last reply for today (1.02.2022) :)
in meantime, see the ๐pinned thread and all of my answers to others!
update (8:38pm): most likely clocking out for the day, it's been a good 13 hours I think since first publishing this tweet. I'm absolutely blown away by the amount of progress we've made today so far to this point.
201k+ tweet impressions. ~2700 site visits. 500+ data points.
@ned93 will also work alongside other organizations and creators who are working to build systems to understand public health data, compare and contrast results, analyze trends and report on our findings (with graphics + written) if we have the capacity.
@ned93 data will be cleaned, processsed and all connection to name/email for those that provided will be removed. then results will be analyzed and published on the same site in the coming days
