0) Even basic questions about the virus and how it spreads are still unanswered, like how infectious one is during the incubation period. This makes more advanced questions regarding a risk score difficult to answer.
I agree. And there are a lot of resources being put into research on this right now, so in time I hope we have better answers. But even imperfect information could be helpful. See the Q&A with Sukrit Silas. At first I imagined the app could only give a risk score that was very coarse. Just levels 1-7. I’ve commented separately, header Example Score Levels, with an example of what I mean, which I didn’t put in the post because I have no confidence in what it should be. But you might be able to show a decimal point too. I think it’s good not to start out being committed to any kind of risk scoring system until you have a sense of what’s possible.
