COVID 19 Detection through voice print

We have an algorithm that detects if someone has flue like symptoms is in the vicinity, just by the tone in his speech. We are not sure yet if we can accurately differentiate between Covid type flue like symptoms and those from another cause. Regardless it should be clear that the percentage of covid infected people is higher within the set of people with flu like symptoms than in the general public. So this should still serve useful. At its broadest then it protects the user from both flu and covid . This could be implemented in an android app that is constantly on on the smart phone, even in the users pocket. The moment it hears through the earpiece someone speak it will use adapted bio metric technology to check if they have flu like symptoms and set of an alarm or vibrate if they do. That gives you the chance to avoid close contact with the indicated person, and perhaps urge them to go for more thorough testing. This application can be used by the authorities to monitor everyone
