Along the lines of those chips we've had put under our cats' skin. Not only can they be identified if lost, but they (and only they) can get in through our cat flap.

Now there's an idea!

Marge and I could be chipped so that a suitable door lock with sensor could only be opened by us. No more problems with losing or forgetting our keys. The same could work for our car door and ignition.

No, that's a far more simple problem to solve.
Just shoot them.

Re: Contact Tracing on smartphones

My local shop has spacings taped on the floor, then a group of gangly youths invade on bicycles, being a gangly youth once, 50 years ago, I would not have put another's potential health at risk.
