China develops coronavirus app that tells you if you’ve been near an infected person

People are urged to register their phone number and national ID number to use the service.

What could possibly go wrong with that??

Send it to Iowa!

[Da Coyote]

Yeah, like we’re going to trust Chinese software.
For anything...

LOL!

Too late for Iowa but maybe it will work for Nevada.

[NEMDF]

Right!!?? And, if someone shows up “positive” as having been exposed to an infected person, do they automatically come and take them away to the internment camps or crematorium?

[VTenigma]

I hope it works better than the “Shadow” app.

Here's the main screen:

Por supuesto!

“Espionage device, please tell the government where I’m at and who I’ve seen, thanks.”

[Kipp]

So if the app alerts the government that I’ve come in contact with a carrier, I guess I can expect the men in white to come and cart me off to a quarantine center (a large assembly room filled with cots). No thanks. But I suppose if you don’t sign up for the app, you might be carted off anyway.

I think they’re just weeding out the ones with low IQs.

“It’s a really powerful tool that really shows the power of data being used for good...”

... by hard-fisted communists.

Then come back in 4 months to get the answer.

“What could possibly go wrong with that?? “

That line is getting old.

China already has the data. This just lets the people have access.

[PIF]

Possible and theoretical results after close contact registered by the app:

“Medical staff” will pay a home visit, take your temperature. If you have a raised temperature, they will chain your door shut from the outside; if you have a high temperature and other symptoms, they will administer the test kit and take you to the hospital; if you are really sick, they will forcibly remove you and others from the dwelling sending all to a sealed quarantine camp to get well or die on their own.

Deaths, after recovery, from organ failure will be treated as a ‘normal’ death with the body cremated per CCP order.

Is this part of China’s “Black Mirror” social score app?

[Track9]

Lol

[bgill]

There goes your social credit score.

China knows where all the infected people are?
