Immune from today on the Google Italy homepage

From today the Immuni app earns one of the most important visibility positions that can be reached, that is the homepage of Google Italy (in fact the homepage of all, since it is absolutely the most used search engine in our country and that practically every Italian passes over it every day).

Google promotes Immuni

A simple indication: "Find out how Exposure Notifications work to fight Covid-19". On click, you land directly on the Immuni official website, on the page where you can get direct links to download Immuni and all the indications of compatibility.



From a first check, however, it seems that this type of promotion is a treatment reserved - at the moment - only for the Immuni app: the German counterpart, in fact, to date does not appear on the relative homepage.

Google is certainly not subordinate in this project. Immuni was the first app based on the A / G Framework released worldwide, i.e. specifically designed on the platform agreed by Apple and Google to allow the best possible compatibility on most smartphones available on the market. The picture will be complete when the Appgallery app is also released, allowing Huawei users to be able to have a complete and reliable Immune service on an Android basis.

A little push to downloads

This positioning will only be good for the progress of downloads in our country, where Immuni started slowly and exceeded 4 million in a few days:



A good position of visibility is essential to getting more people through the work of communication, information on contact tracing , but clearly it will be important to persuade of the utility of the app. Outbreaks of return, which in these hours are closing in lockdown, Catalonia, Galicia and other regions around the world should remind Italy that the problem is certainly not gone. The collapse in the purchase of the masks and the images coming from the coast of the whole Country, instead, seems to tell the profile of a nation that is trying to take a vacation from the tensions of the beginning of the year, which lowered the guard and that is playing Russian roulette with the flu.

now the most important thing is to be able to keep track of outbreaks, soffocandone the pace in the shortest possible time and with maximum efficiency: Immune is one of the tools available , but we need the cooperation of as many people as possible so that the whole could see substantially increase their effectiveness.

Enjoy a placement similar on the homepage of Google can be of help, but not enough: now it's up to the italians.
