like EVERYTHING ELSE about CDC, this [cr]app is STUBBORNLY, MAXIMALLY & UNNECESSARILY ANTI-VPN. remarkably free of trackers & other embedded nanny-code, but requires full VPN bypass, so, it's wide open to MitM attacks. restricted to crippled offline mode when VPN-ed.

Great app for staying on top of things. The only negative is that there are ZERO reasons this needs to be phone memory only and not moved to the SD card. It's not graphics or memory intensive. No one's going to notice or care that it takes an extra couple miliseconds. It's almost 100MB that could be freed up.

Great resource of general information. Due to what the public was told by CDC, et al., regarding the first round of COVID '19,' disinformation' still, usually, go back and check the CDC reviews. And then go to other 'reliable' research sources and see how the findings were interpreted. But overall, if needed, the CDC appears a good, reliable source. Especially when trying to get info on STDs, 'weird' diseases, dx, s/sx, prognosis and tx options.
