Testing for All ?

“Identify more carriers”. Create a list of citizens their phone number and addresses to use for future purposes. Has anyone asked where these lists are kept and who has access to them now and in the future

If I had testing available (I'm in NY), I would definitely take the test whether I felt sick at the time or not. It's so that I know if I am a carrier or not and if so, can take the proper precautions not to spread it to someone who may end up dying. I might not contact that person directly but if I gave it to my neighbor or sister, and then they gave it to a person who was compromised and ended up in ICU, then I would hold myself responsible and that is not something I would want on my conscience.

This speaks exactly to what you have said and is even more sinister than you can imagine.
“House resolution 6666”? Are you kidding me????
Takes a minute to begin so stay with it.

Actually, the government has a new plan - have every person (citizen or not), and even children 10 years old and younger, keep a device on their person that enables GPS tracking and monitoring so that we know where everyone is, who they are with, and much, much more. To keep the government costs low, they are going to have people pay for this device for monthly fees of upwards of $100/month - and allow private companies access to any and all data that the device collects, which said companies can sell to whomever they want without compensating the individual. To keep those who are worried happy, the government will, reluctantly, provide a way to turn off the device, but will make it very hard to do so to discourage anyone from using that option.

Scary, huh?

Sorry. Not a new plan. I's called an Apple watch, Fitbit, CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor), and even those things that tell you when you've fallen and can't get up. Pretty soon, your insurance carrier, picked by your employer as a "benefit", will tell you to wear one of their devices or pay a $200/month surcharge. Wait for it: Medicare for all" the best benefit ever. NOT !

Someone said the testing was unbearable.... I got tested 3 weeks ago as I was "exposed" at work and honestly didn't think it was that bad. Uncomfortable? Yea, but unbearable doesn't even come close. Up the nose and a 10 second count down as they scramble ya brain a little with a 6" q-tip, honestly was just a little worse than getting the flu test to me.

Luckily, I was negative for the covid.

So, anyone getting testing. Don't fear it.

Or it could just be that ubiquitous smartphone that everyone seems to need to carry at all times!

Oh . . . it's not the gubmint.

It's Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, your new car, etc. The information is already being collected - and sold.

You can do what Ted Kazinsky did. Go get a no address cabin in the woods. Opps. That's illegal now too. Every building requires a street address. Enhanced 911.

I agree that this is an issue. The President/CDC should implement a plan to protect privacy and data usage around covid.

Keep in mind that covid status is nothing compared to what's already available. Your party affiliation is required to vote in a primary (How messed up is that?) Your insurance company knows your cancer/HIV/diabetes/etc status. (Just be grateful that Obamacare protects you with preexisting conditions) And as Dickie pointed out a couple of days ago, tech companies know everything else

I'm grateful for nothing that Obama is associated with.
