One would think with the billions of dollars of investment in predictive modelling that that would be an amply useful tool for determining at-risk areas based on the data we aggregate on positive tests...

This seems possibly out of the realm of your average open source project in the expertise needed for effectiveness though...

So in terms of maybe more achievable, maybe a hyper-localize portal that can answer the question: "What do I do if I have symptoms?" with a decision chart of sorts. Text-in chatbots often seem like a decent interface for this sort of thing.

I like your idea and i think that would really be a quick win.
But how can we introduce some medical Expertise? I feel like to it being ethical at least the aggregated info needs to be verified by physician or something like that
