In declaring a national emergency due to COVID-19, President Donald Trump and other officials yesterday revealed that Google was building an online tool. After some confusion — partly due to the Alphabet structure, Google today confirmed that it’s building a “nationwide website” to provide information about the coronavirus.
Google proper — instead of Verily — issued a statement on Saturday afternoon:
“We are fully aligned and continue to work with the US Government to contain the spread of COVID-19, inform citizens, and protect the health of our communities. Google is partnering with the US Government in developing a nationwide website that includes information about COVID-19 symptoms, risk and testing information.
Yesterday, the company appeared to be blindsided by the President’s announcement, with the narrative quickly emerging that it was Verily — a life sciences company under Alphabet — building a site.
At that, the website Verily briefly detailed is only to “help triage individuals for Covid-19 testing” in the Bay Area by directing them to coronavirus testing facilities.
It’s not the more ambitious website described by US officials as offering a symptoms questionnaire and — when warranted — directing people to a “drive thru” clinic. The most significant capability would have been the ability to return the results of coronavirus testing after users log-in.
What Google announced today is also not the website described by Trump. That said, it is explicitly “in addition to” what Verily is doing. This particular effort will include “information about COVID-19 symptoms, risk and testing information.”

Trying to get ahead of something?
What a coincidence.
