谷歌与美国政府合作开发冠状病毒网站

谷歌周六表示，他们正在与美国政府合作开发一个全国性的网站，帮助美国人解答有关冠状病毒症状、危险因素和检测的问题。

据路透社报道，谷歌电视台在一份声明中表示:“我们与美国政府保持全面一致，并将继续与美国政府合作，以遏制‘19’病毒的传播，告知公民，并保护我们社区的健康。”

上周五，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普感谢谷歌开发了一个网站，他说该网站将帮助人们决定是否需要进行冠状病毒测试，并表示1700名工程师正在为此工作。

这促使互联网巨头作出回应，事实上，一个生命科学部门，确实，在开发一种工具的早期阶段，来帮助那些可能需要检测冠状病毒的美国人分类，它将在旧金山湾区进行检测，并随着时间的推移而扩大。

路透社(Reuters)指出，与特朗普政府合作之际，谷歌正因其搜索和数字广告等业务面临联邦和州机构的反垄断调查。

Google said on Saturday that it is working with the US government to develop a nationwide website that would help Americans with questions about coronavirus symptoms, risk factors and testing.

“We are fully aligned and continue to work with the U.S. government to contain the spread of COVID-19, inform citizens, and protect the health of our communities,” Google said in a statement, Reuters reports.

On Friday, US President Donald Trump thanked Google for developing a website that he said would help people determine whether they need a coronavirus test, saying that 1,700 engineers were working on it.

That prompted the internet giant to respond that, in fact, a life sciences division, Verily, was in the early stages of developing a tool to help triage Americans who may need testing for the coronavirus and that it would be tested in the Bay Area and expanded over time.

The cooperation with the Trump administration comes as Google faces antitrust investigations by federal and state agencies over its search and digital advertising businesses, among others, Reuters noted.
