This company called Tectonic GEO evidently has the ability to follow the patterns of anonymous cell phone users. They analyzed the movement patterns of a huge beach party in FL after spring break to see where everyone went.

This is how things can get quickly out of hand with big events.

Pretty interesting little video

The #metoo Puritans probably work themselves into a frenzy over social distancing.

I sort of thought the same thing

I'm sure if they wanted to they could tap into all of that information

In which case it seems pretty unethical. But it's not like the government doesn't already have much more advanced data.

No doubt. And pretty insightful. It's likely that one event has caused problems in communities that would otherwise be fairly safe.

I'd like to see where they are now. All of that coloring includes their ride back home.

I'm sure that's a shite show

And it might be interesting to rewind it to see where they all came from as well, that's the other part of the equation

Kind of like me watching movies about people in space back in the late 50s and early 60s? How'd that work out?

What does it matter, the vast majority of people are going to get it.

The intent is for not all of them to get it in a short period of time, especially while we're behind the curve on treatments

I wonder why Florida is closing down its borders to out of staters to stave off the Corona, but they allowed to spring break to go on unimpeded?

Tectonic GEO sounds more dangerous than the virus, no offense to the virus.
