| > Firstly, and perhaps most importantly, a positive case report on the app had to be backed by a PCR result, which required a code provided on a positive PCR test. A bad actor as you describe would have only one shot at a malicious shut down (and would actually need to be Covid+ to do it). All they had to do was do a test, type in the code and say it was positive, this is my point about the NHS app could have also required a photo of the positive test result but it didnt! I was poking around with it, and you could trigger the mobile app into telling you to self isolate simply by having one or two of the leading question symptoms, it was that "cautious". So if earlier that day I spent my time around loads of people like in a shopping centre, on a military base, in a police station, I could get those people to self isolate by being in their vicinity and the app doing the rest, if they had that app, but the US Military bases here in the UK were doing their own US testing and where it was only a suspicion, they got US personnel to do an NHS test in order to keep the brits happy and the NHS happy. In actual fact Covid was ripping through some RAF USAF bases and the US mil were soiling their pants at how many active personnel were going down, what a way to take out the most powerful military on this planet! Now it just so happened, you could also reset the app without any problem so you could rinse and repeat the next day! > ...but shop keepers, retail staff et al by and large did not have the app. Employers were actively preventing their employees from downloading the application to prevent having to close for staff shortages while they were advised to isolate. That would have been illegal in the UK, cant comment on how bad the US is. > Hanlon's Razor Yeah, if you are caught with your hands in the till put it down to Hanlon's Razor and say you found some money on the floor and you were putting it back! LOL Looking at this globally, its fcuked the Just In Time global business sectors as we have seen with shortages et al and continue to see. |
