Turns out those pesky reports about CDC officials and the federal government tracking cell phones to combat the virus .. ehum.. are actually true. According to reports — officials sometime over the weekend launched the tracking efforts to determine who; where, and when in terms of the virus and hotspots.

Reports are now out confirming that using mobile advertising data, users cell phone data is being gobbled up by the CDC and federal officials in hundreds of cities. In fact, at some point, the feds are reportedly hoping that upwards of 500 cities will be monitored in a widespread effort to combat the virus.

What’s not included in the reported data: sensitive phone data; a cell phone user’s name, and the like.

Here’s what it does actually show:
