The only correct reply to someone who demands to see an “immunity license” is flying lead. This nazi crap needs to be stopped in its tracks.

“This nazi crap needs to be stopped in its tracks.”

You mean this ‘polite’ conversation:

Halt! Ihre Papiere, bitte.

Alles in Ordnung, passieren Sie!

Got a cell phone? Some people want to trace every person's movement. "Contact Tracing"

Both Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced Wednesday that state and city officials are working to bolster the ability to trace the contacts made by thousands of coronavirus patients, an onerous process that will likely require the addition of new health care workers to help track transmissions of COVID-19.

Gov J.B. Pritzker has identified contact tracing as one of the measures necessary to ease the stringent statewide social restrictions, along with expanding diagnostic testing and identifying a treatment for the virus.

During Wednesday’s press briefing, Pritzker said he’s been in touch with Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker and representatives from the Boston-based nonprofit Partners in Health, who announced a joint initiative earlier this month to deploy 1,000 people to conduct contact tracing in that state.

As efforts to expand contact tracing become a priority in Illinois, new training programs at local colleges could help fill the gap by supplying valuable workers to local health departments that need to keep tabs on COVID-19 infections.

Oakton Community College was the first Chicago-area school to announce its online course, which is expected to begin later this month. Southern Illinois University’s School of Medicine in Springfield is also developing a program, but the dates have not been finalized.

“We have heard the call that in order for us to safely reopen the economy, we will need hundreds of thousands of contact tracers,” said Joianne Smith, Oakton’s president, during a virtual news conference Wednesday. “I am confident that this will help serve the needs of our community, not just in the immediate future but for years to come.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_tracing#Technology

On 10 April 2020, Apple and Google, who account for most of the world's mobile operating systems, announced coronavirus tracking technology for iOS and Android.[7][8] Relying on Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wireless radio signals for contact tracing,[9] the new tools would warn people about others they'd been in contact with who are infected by SARS-CoV-2.

As of 10 April, corresponding coronavirus apps were expected to be released in May and enhanced later in 2020.[8]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_apps

COVID-19 apps are mobile software applications designed to aid contact tracing in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, i.e. the process of identifying persons ("contacts") who may have been in contact with an infected individual.

Numerous applications were developed or proposed, with official government support in some territories and jurisdictions. Several frameworks for building contact tracing apps have been developed. Privacy concerns have been raised, especially about systems that are based on tracking the geographical location of app users.

Less intrusive alternatives include the use of Bluetooth signals to log a user's proximity to other cellphones. On 10 April 2020, Google and Apple jointly announced that they would integrate functionality to support such Bluetooth-based apps directly into their Android and iOS operating systems.

Worldwide baby

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCN_Protocol

They even designed a comm protocol just for covid19 - nothin ta see here, move along

The Temporary Contact Numbers Protocol, or TCN Protocol, is an open source, decentralized, privacy focused contact tracing protocol developed by the TCN Coalition in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4][5] The protocol, like BlueTrace and the Google / Apple contact tracing project, use Bluetooth Low Energy to track and log encounters with other users.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_surveillance#Digital_surveillance

At least 24 countries have established digital surveillance of their citizens.[6] The digital surveillance technologies include apps, location data and electronic tags.[6] The Center For Disease Control and Prevention in USA tracks the travel information of individuals using airline passenger data.[7][8]

Tracking wristbands can take the place of smartphone apps for users who either do not own a smartphone, or who own a smartphone unable to support Bluetooth Low Energy functionality. In the UK, as of 2020 more than ten percent of smartphones lack this functionality. In addition, in South Korea, people found to be breaking quarantine are issued tracking wristbands designed to alert authorities if the band is removed.[9] At least one jurisdiction in the U.S. has used existing ankle bracelet technology to enforce quarantine on patients found to be in violation.[10]

In Hong Kong, authorities are requiring a bracelet and an app for all travellers. A GPS app is used to track the locations of individuals in South Korea to ensure against quarantine breach, sending alerts to the user and to authorities if people leave designated areas.[11][12] In Singapore, individuals have to report their locations with photographic proof. Thailand is using an app and SIM cards for all travelers to enforce their quarantine.[6] India is planning to manufacture location and temperature-monitoring bands.[9] Human rights organizations have criticized some of these measures, asking the governments not to use the pandemic as a cover to introduce invasive digital surveillance.
