  • 10.

  • Objective explanations look lose for a global audience.

  • I'm Carla Zeus.

  • We quoted health experts who've said this worldwide Corona virus pandemic is gonna get worse before it gets better.

  • The turnaround point is still unknown.

  • When we assembled this show, there were more than 1,250,000 cases of Cove in 19 confirmed around the world.

  • Keeping physical distance from other people is our most important tool, according to a U.

  • S medical official, and he says this may already be paying off in Washington state.

  • Meanwhile, in New York, the hardest hit state.

  • The governor says Corona virus deaths might be approaching their apex their worst point, or that they could be hitting a plateau.

  • This is because the number of daily deaths in New York slightly decreased at one point this weekend, the officials say.

  • It's still too early to tell if things are turning around there.

  • There are other states that haven't seen the worst of this disease yet, and the lack of testing continues to be a problem in several parts of the U.

  • S.

  • So it's hard to get a clear picture of who's Caught Cove in 19.

  • Over the weekend, there was a hopeful sign from Italy.

  • We're More than 15,000 people have died from Corona virus.

  • On Sunday, the European country saw its lowest daily number of deaths in more than two weeks, and the number of patients in critical care also decreased for the second day in a row.

  • So potentially good news there.

  • But experts say it could still take some time before this happens across the United States.

  • Remember when spring breakers in Florida wouldn't stop partying, even offered the Corona virus pandemic hit the United States?

  • What happened when spring break was over.

  • We can actually track movement of these devices over the remaining weeks of March, seeing where these devices went after spring breakers left the beach.

  • So what you're seeing in this video is what happens if people do not exercise social distancing where a group of individuals, you know are a few 1000 people in this case gathered at a beach in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and all the place Steve Travel showcasing how interconnected all hold is.

  • Josh Anton runs Ex Mode, a company that tracks the movement of devices like cell phones.

  • His team says it's used location data to track where everyone on the beach in Fort Lauderdale in March went after they left, including those spring breakers from New York to the Midwest.

  • You know the power of this location data it could be used to understand.

  • Not only you know how people and where people are traveling post post gathering but also potentially prepare to be proactive if something happens to be identified.

  • Future hot spots of where the credit buyers could happen before it happens.

  • But the applications of ex Moz technology go way beyond sunburned coeds Anton says the company tracks 25 million devices every month in United States and millions more around the world.

  • The company claims and licenses that data to turd parties, including advertisers, without any personal identifying information.

  • Can your technology be used to track individuals gonna track me?

  • Um, it could right?

  • Well, we don't allow that.

  • We don't allow any of our partners to do that because we just don't think that's the right thing.

  • The deal.

  • While Anton says his company makes every effort to keep data secure and doesn't identify the owners of the devices it is tracking.

  • There are serious privacy concerns about this kind of technology.

  • In 2018 a New York Times investigation showed how location data could be used to identify the specific owner of a particular device.

  • You know, I don't think a lot of people realize that even this technology exists, that it's out there, and I think some people are pretty creeped out.

  • What would you say to folks who have concerns when they sort of see that you contract devices like this?

  • I'm gonna quote Uncle Ben from Spider Man, which is with great power comes great responsibility, right?

  • The relative quietness has led to what scientists call less seismic noise, and that has made it easier for them to detect events like small earthquakes.

  • So this is all a shakeup, but not tectonic Lee.

  • People still wake up, but they meet electronically, the ground to shifted.

  • It's changed the nation's.
