I've been hearing about this contact tracing roll out for awhile and decided to read an article on it today. Basically through an app on your phone you can tell if you've been or are currently near someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. While this may be an answer to the "open it all back up" dilemma, to me this is going to create even more hysteria/paranoia.

Imagine getting on a crammed subway in NYC and your phone starts alerting you to a bunch of positives.

Strange Times

About 3 months too late to be of any real use in contact tracing. It is just another way to spy on us.

I would think/hope the app would be voluntary, but nothing would surprise me.

I can’t believe these assholes. They have completely realized that most Americans are that goddamn stupid.

They want a police state, and these motherfricking millenialssl are gonna line up and give it to them.

Yeah. This is sketchy as hell. This whole fricking virus is bullshite. Scare people into compliance.

According to the article, Apple is going to use brute force for installation. So yeah, this will not be optional for Apple users. Google will also use brute force for android users, but will be a bit more tricky.

We’ve lost our freedom boys.

I've been pondering quite a long time on the Book of Revelations and Bill Gates role in it.

Do we think we are already not being traced and tracked?

Yep. Google Maps does it all day every day. If you have reason to not be tracked, first, remove your sim card and then throw your phone in the river.
