Some companies have already been doing that to employees. You agree to the job then you agree to the chip. I think it's horrible and this app is worse than big brother. It's like electronically tagging the whole population.

Re: Contact Tracing on smartphones

I turned on location sharing on my phone a few months ago.

I was staggered to see tracking going back years ie before
I had turned it on. Google maps - menu (3 lines top left)
then 'timeline'.

That is quite scary!

Re: Contact Tracing on smartphones

Forget this mobile tracking, we need to concentrate on gangs of 16 year old youths on bicycles who are potential spreaders.

I've usually got mine turned off or so I thought!
However it seems I must have inadvertently turned it on to use an app or something because my whole year is there in locations!

Thank heavens for that. I thought I was the only one left on the planet.

Re: Contact Tracing on smartphones

I think I would rather not know tbh. I will have someone working with me in a few weeks who I know for a fact has had the corona virus and has survived it. I'm sure the person will not return until completely safe but it does worry me. If I didn't know, I couldn't worry about it.

Virus or not, some folks just don't give a shit, that's just the way it is.

I believe they will have us all micropchipped in the future.
We will be like dogs.
