Extract from today's Sole 24 Ore:

Luca Foresti who with Bendig Spoons created the Immuni application at RaiNews24 indicated the error in the data loading system. What is it about? When a patient is found to be positive, the physician should log on to the health card software, obtain a code and give it to the patient who in turn should upload it to Immuni. In short, two gestures are needed, that of the doctor and that of the patient. Someone is not doing what they should. Could it be the patient? It is possible but not very credible: in fact, those who downloaded Immuni are clearly motivated by the idea of ​​contributing to fight the pandemic with information, so probably if they are declared positive they would make good use of the tool. Could it be the doctor? It's possible. And the probabilities that this is the explanation are high given that in the Prime Minister's Decree of last Sunday, at letter f of article 1, the government wrote that "in order to make contact tracing more effective through the use of the Immuni App, the health worker of the Prevention Department of the local health company is obliged, by accessing the Immuni central system, to upload the key code in the presence of a positive case ". If the government has emphasized the requirement that the doctor do his part to make the tracking system work, it most likely means that it has noticed that so far this has not been the case. Now at least it is clear that if the doctor does not do this he is responsible for the consequences of a possible default.
