COVID Transmission Rates
Policies
Submit to a "sniff-test" (dogs are able to detect individuals with COVID)
Failure to submit = $500 fine, points on record, etc.
Enforcement of COVID policies (ex: no mask = $500 fine)
Masks must be worn
properly
in ALL public places
Close sit-down areas in restaurants, public spaces, etc.

In stores/shops is there a way to circulate air more?
Ms. White
Doctors are dying
People don't social distance
people might think the people they are spending time with have been social distancing
People dont want to socially distance
quarantine gives people an urge to get out of the house
maybe they don't understand how dangerous it is?
How can we make them aware?
What if everyone wears a tracker? It tells others how many peiple you have been around?
would this only count people that are within 6 feet of you?
what if you go to a public are ie. the grocery store? would that count?
Could this we a visible wearable device?
A device that everyone wears that can record what people you have been around for the past 2 weeks so if someone catches COVID, you know who you have been around(CH)
And can self quarantine for the duration of the virus' incubation period(CH)
maybe they don't know how far away they are from their friends/people
can we create a device that communicates that to them?
What about kids?
Kids in school?
How can we incentivise them to stay away from their peers.
Make it fun?
What if it it a game?
Wearable technology that communicates if you are socially distanced, reminds the person to wear a mask if they aren't able to be socially distanced, and could also alert others if an individual has an immune compromised status.
Zach
People not wearing masks put people in masks in danger
A mask that secures the safety of the wearer no matter what the people around decide to do
A mask that is thick enough to protect but breathable/comfortable enough to wear on a daily basis

Free access to it
added apple maps feature for accessability
government can use it for data
Myah Crowell
People do not have incentives to social-dstance/penalties for not social-distancing
Rewards
App that uses location tracking and monitors how crowded an area is during certain times
If people avoid this area during a crowded time, they receive perk points to be used towards a large big ticket item of purchase
App has time limits of being in public spaces and staying under that limit increases points earned for the day
Each day a person stays under their limit their streak increases
Over time the streak will act as an interest rate, accumulating points even faster
1 more item...
Penalties
Wrist-band tracker that senses when someone is not obeying social distance rules
Depending on the length of time person is not obeying distance rules a fee is added
Feedback on my rewards/penalties app

Quinn Washington
masks
create new masks technology that makes it more comfortable and easier to breath through
filter on masks that makes air feel fresher then breathing without one
An app that connects to your mask that can control the temperature in case it gets to hot
social distancing
Create an app that tracks the amount of people you've been around

Businesses
Has a limit on the amount of people in the establishment
an app that can tell you the amount of people in a public business
