Google Will Make a Coronavirus Site—but Not Like Trump Said

When President Trump announced Friday that Google was developing a website for Americans to find out where they could get tested for the novel coronavirus, the details of the project remained unclear. There was no landing page, no press release from Google, and no announcement from any of the tech giant’s executives.
The administration promised more would be coming over the weekend. In the meantime, news outlets reported the website in question was much more limited in scope, and developed not by Google but by another Alphabet subsidiary called Verily. As WIRED first reported, Google hadn’t been aware it would be mentioned by the president at all. Since then, however, the company said that it will launch a coronavirus website on Monday, but not one like what the president described.
