A confused series of events followed the president's claims that Google had 1,700 engineers working on a COVID-19 project.
And then, within hours of launching, the website said it had reached capacity and could not schedule any more appointments for testing.
And the confusion prompted by the president's statement was added to when Google confirmed the launch of its own website, apparently distinct from Verily's, had been delayed until later this week.The company's chief executive Sundar Pichai said it was working with the US government to develop"a website dedicated to COVID-19 education, prevention, and local resources nationwide".
Eventually this information would be available nationwide, she claimed, although did not offer a timeline., as the president warned there are now just 15 days to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
