So great to have you here on the Clark Powered Chill where it's all about you and that wallet

of yours.

I want you to be empowered with knowledge so that you can eat more of what you make or

if you've got no paycheck coming in, stretch every dollar you still have.

The hardworking teams at Clark.com and Clarkdeals.com are doing what they can to assist you with

stretching every dollar.

Now I want to tell you something that's going to make you think that this is an April

Fool's joke in mid-April but it's actually true that the two arch enemies of the modern

technology era are marrying their efforts to try to help with coronavirus relief and that

is Apple and Google have gotten together done a joint release on what they're doing

and they have an effort where the Bluetooth built into iPhones and Android is going to

be used as a way of alerting you if someone that you have been near, even somebody you

don't know you've just been near them, test positive for coronavirus.

The setup that Apple and Google are designing has no contact tracing.

In other words, they're not reporting collecting any data on who you are or anything like that

for this effort.

And what's really neat is that if I test positive and I report that to Google and Apple,

what happens is they'll then notify people that they were in fact in close contact, close

enough that Bluetooth would register to someone who's tested positive.

This is a wonderful step forward because one of the hardest things we have is to know

when we're around someone who was symptomless but could spread the virus and we become an

unknowing carrier that could infect those we love or those we're around.
