This won’t cause any violence.
That’s a HIPAA issue. What about the deadly flu? What about HIV?
Man, talk about privacy issues.
Gee, does it bat up a Scarlet C?
To effectively do this would not all covid positives need to have a tracer implant, something that remains with the individual?
Apple and Google have already installed spyware in your phone to do this. They did it in auto-installs in early September.
Modern version of the Scarlet Letter.
So, all this will now become public knowledge, available to anyone at the press of a button. Privacy laws be damned!
This does little to encourage people to go get themselves tested. You will wear the Scarlet Letter ‘C’ on your Google searches forevermore. This is how it looks.
You know how clumsy the Govt. can be with private information.
What good does this do? If it’s only 9 minutes, you’re ok? Do they roll off the positive test list after two weeks?
I’m half tempted to start a petition to lobby to lock up COVID-19 people in prisons for six months so others can be kept “safe” from them and thus can “stay healthy.”
I, of course, don’t agree. I am just curious about how people would react.
Such a petition would provide important information about one’s neighbors. Just think if I came to your house and, while you would probably curse me out over this petition, rightfully so, since for all you know I am serious about it, you could take a moment before you do so and scan down the page to see who signed it.
Don’t carry a phone.
Isn’t this what China does with its social credit program? An alert appears on your phone when you are near an “unacceptable person.”
HIPPA? Just a myth, eh? Now the public can receive alerts re your personal medical information. This is Orwellian.
I am staying out of NY State. The NYSS will be roaming around in Covid vehicles scanning for victims!
As long as you have a mild case don’t ever be tested.
Sure it doesn’t track you.
That how it can tell if you’re within 6 feet of someone who tested positive.
A modern day Scarlet letter.

Every cell phone has the beginnings of the app already installed.
They did it a few updates ago.
Think of all the concern about protecting the privacy of people with AIDs.
I never had covid, but can I still get this just so people will get out of my way?
