Nothing. If you checked out her responses... all she does is list symptoms and recommend telehealth or conventional medical services along with social distancing... harmless, really.
Just another PSA
Me: Hey Siri, play Radio 1
Siri: okay, playing Radio 2
why?! Just why?!

You guys are just hilarious with your Siri fail jokes.
Meanwhile this new feature works perfectly fine.

I assume these are all attempts at humor and that everyone understands that Siri isn’t diagnosing anything, just repeating info from public health sources.
No. We had no idea. Thanks so much for clearing that up. I was asking Siri for diagnoses instead of health professionals. I'm going to stop now.
Also -- the article states Siri will help you "better understand [your] health situation." That's not "diagnosis" but if it's anything else, it's essentially useless world salad.
Unfortunately we keep up to date and know the symptoms and we have pretty much all of them in a very weird vague way, but there are no tests available unless you’re a celebrity or a politician from what I can tell.
Many very sick people I’ve talked to on other social media say they got rejected for testing and basically sent home and told to do the usual stuff with colds. So much depends on what your state and local governments can do, which right now apparently isn’t very much despite the sky high taxes we all pay.
It is basically sit home and shut up. So while it’s nice they are making some effort with Siri, I can look this stuff up myself and have the comfort of knowing all the times I used Web MD to diagnose myself with obscure hideous diseases may finally be paying off.
This article has inspired me a video this morning.
Thought I could share with you guys :

I can’t click play on a video where the title makes no grammatical sense. I’m like Monk that way.
It should be mentioned that this is only for those in the US. Here in Canada, Siri directs you to go to the Canadian Government website, canada.ca.

Honestly, I think more than half of the Siri fail jokes are a fault of the users. They are in a noisy place, or not pronouncing words clearly. Siri works well for me 99% of the time, from across the room!
