    Everybody in the world doesn't own a smartwatch, but this interesting article confirms the estimation of the NoCoRoNa group that about 75 % reduction of talking indoors during the Covid-19 pandemic would have eliminated the pandemic even without the need of investments in smartwatches.
    A combination of our preventive method with the presymptomatic smartwatch method would, however,  eliminate a pandemic faster in case persons, who despite the recommendations to talk less indoors get infected, distance themselves socially after being diagnosed as infected with help of the smartwatch.
