Tras la muerte de tres personas en un crucero afectado por un hantavirus, las autoridades est\u00e1n rastreando activamente a 29 personas que hab\u00edan abandonado el barco. Con ello est\u00e1n intentando rastrear la propagaci\u00f3n del virus. Es un proceso largo, arduo y global para encontrar y notificar a las personas que podr\u00edan estar en riesgo de infecci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

\u00bfNo se supon\u00eda que hab\u00eda una aplicaci\u00f3n para eso?<\/h2>\n

Las aplicaciones de localizaci\u00f3n de contactos fueron un esfuerzo mundial que comenz\u00f3 en 2020 durante la pandemia de covid. Habilitadas por empresas de telefon\u00eda como Apple<\/a> y Google<\/a>, las aplicaciones de rastreo de contactos se dise\u00f1aron para utilizar conexiones Bluetooth con el fin de detectar cu\u00e1ndo una persona hab\u00eda estado en contacto con alguien que hab\u00eda dado positivo en la prueba de covid o que lo dar\u00eda, e informar de ello. No sirvi\u00f3 de mucho para solucionar la propagaci\u00f3n de la pandemia, pero el rastreo del virus se hizo al menos m\u00e1s eficaz. El mismo proceso no ir\u00eda bien para el problema del hantavirus<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u00abLas aplicaciones no sirven para este brote de hantavirus\u00bb, escribi\u00f3 Emily Gurley, epidemi\u00f3loga de la Universidad Johns Hopkins, en una respuesta por correo electr\u00f3nico a WIRED. \u00abEl n\u00famero de casos es peque\u00f1o, y es importante rastrear exactamente todos los contactos para detener la transmisi\u00f3n\u00bb.<\/p>\n

En una infecci\u00f3n a menor escala como \u00e9sta, las autoridades tienen que empezar por la fuente (un individuo infectado) y luego ir persona por persona, confirmando ad\u00f3nde fueron y con qui\u00e9n podr\u00edan haber estado en contacto. Los datos recogidos por las aplicaciones de una amplia gama de dispositivos no ser\u00edan ni de lejos lo bastante precisos para dar una buena idea de ad\u00f3nde podr\u00eda haber llegado el virus.<\/p>\n

El rastreo de contactos a gran escala, por ejemplo en una pandemia mundial, tiene menos que ver con el seguimiento de las infecciones individuales y m\u00e1s con la comprensi\u00f3n de qu\u00e9 partes de la poblaci\u00f3n podr\u00edan verse afectadas, dando a la gente la oportunidad de auto-cuarentena despu\u00e9s de la exposici\u00f3n. Pero eso depende de c\u00f3mo decida responder la gente y de c\u00f3mo utilicen la tecnolog\u00eda los sistemas p\u00fablicos de emergencia. Durante la pandemia de covid, el rastreo de contactos a trav\u00e9s de aplicaciones tendi\u00f3 a funcionar mejor en los pa\u00edses europeos mejor gestionados, pero no fren\u00f3 la propagaci\u00f3n en Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n

Hacer que los dispositivos sean accesibles a ese tipo de informaci\u00f3n de proximidad tambi\u00e9n ha suscitado todo tipo de preocupaciones sobre la privacidad, dado que la tecnolog\u00eda requerir\u00eda un acceso permanente para funcionar correctamente. El rastreo de contactos tambi\u00e9n tuvo problemas para mantener la precisi\u00f3n, y en algunos casos podr\u00eda estar proporcionando falsos negativos o positivos que no ayudan a obtener informaci\u00f3n real sobre la propagaci\u00f3n del virus.<\/p>\n

Especialmente en el caso de algo como el hantavirus, donde te\u00f3ricamente se puede rastrear y contactar directamente con cada persona de ese crucero, es mejor hacer ese proceso.<\/p>\n

\u00abDurante brotes peque\u00f1os pero altamente mortales, se requiere m\u00e1s precisi\u00f3n\u00bb, escribi\u00f3 Gurley.<\/p>\n
