    I find that horrifying that someone who actually had The Coronavirus passed the Temperature Check with a safe temperature! O.O. At least they kept their mask on the entire time!

    Last I heard, around 40% of infected people have no temp.

    Hopefully the opposite is not true (40 percent of people having no temp are not necessarily infected).

    100 percent of people having no temp are necessarily dead.

    Speaking of surveillance...
    On a recent road trip I decided to do a little scouting since I was driving past a few casinos I had never been to. My goal was to simply walk in to observe some game conditions and then leave. In one casino I was greeted at the front entrance with a temperature check, a then request to pull the mask down for a photo while presenting valid ID. I decided to turn around and leave after watching a few folks in front of me smile while having their DL scanned for the facial recognition database. Yes, I imagine this is great for contract tracing. Or, is this the perfect excuse for a casino to start building a database of good photos with real names, so that in the future they can ID someone who is playing as a refusal?

    I've worked at a number of fortune 500 companies. There is a company that corporations use real-time tracking data of all social media. If you don't have setting on any number of online accounts or social media including, but not limited to facebook, twitter, google, youtube, any of their subsidiaries. There are also companies like epsilon which literally buys data from credit agencies, credit cards, businesses, social media companies (FB, google) and create entire profiles of all of your metrics wealth, income, credit score, friends and associates, where you bank, have credit cards, search histories, purchase histories on and on. It's sickening and everyone in the corporations that knows about it talks in hushed tones, because the data they provided allows you to peer into the private life of your colleagues.

    They literally can show a google earth image that has peoples social media photo/avatar on the locations and filters all of their public communications. They use it for crowd control when there are things going on. The reality is, while they market it to corporations as only monitoring users public information, the reality is they also sell it with a wink in the eye, they can trace MAC addresses of the device to target a particular user. Furthermore, since most people use "FREE" services....lol....they can track you through dozens of applications anyway if you use hardware and software that is not open sourced and from any major brand.

    The implication is that you need to get a non-apple, non-android phone that can MAC Address Spoof everytime you turn it on or instruct it to and a number of other privacy features. IP addresses are just the gateway that your traffic is exiting by the way.

    Look up Librem phone and laptop if you want to go truly dark. You will give up some convenience, but its getting better faster. I've had my concerns that all AP could easily be outed not just by social media monitoring information, but by the data aggregation these companies like google and application creators who track you with cookies and other methods then sell that data. Use duckduckgo, brave browser and never anything google. Google tracks everything you do and even is listening to your conversations even when turned off.

    In the Orwellian environment we are living in, regular people are going to need to up their privacy and security game by 10x. There is no doubt in my mind that these powers are already being abused even by western governments, not just the totalitarian CCP.

    take care.
