Dr. Bhatti spoke about ⌠PLANS for CONTACT TRACING and the USE OF TECHNOLOGY to assist with that. He said the government would step up contact tracing of infected people in the community in order to contain the spread of the virus, including through the use of a NEW APP that will soon become available.

GHA is part of NHS:
Krish Rawal revealed GHA will be essentially be PART of the NHS, when he spoke about securing VACCINES. âIf a vaccine becomes available, Iâm sure everyone would want itâŚâ Watch:
Medical Director says GHA stands a very good chance of getting a stock of vaccines when available
Like traffic cameras are used to issue fines, how long will it take before T.H.E.Y. issue fines based on what the APPS capture? Not everyone is buying the invasion of privacy as GOOD. State of Israel halts tracking app: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-52395886
BHATTI TWEETED: âWe are soon to launch an app on your smartphone which will help us accurately contact trace. When we launch it, download it. NHS is helping us develop this. Coming soon.â (@PHcritique) 23/4/2020. Did you REPLY to his tweet?
Britain pursuing a CENTRALISED-GOV approach to tracking CV patients, coming in 2-3 weeks; plans to store info on gov-servers. A group of tech/security experts WARN of possible privacy concerns and that âlocation and contact tracking tech could be used as a means of SOCIAL CONTROLâ.
The decentralized contact tracing Picardo is supporting isnât all itâs cracked up to be. Flaws are highlighted in this article. AND there is still no proof once installed that the Gov wonât find additional ways to use it.
â[D]ecentralized systems are all very nice in theory but are a complete pain in practice, as theyâre too hard to update,â he said. âRelying on cryptography tends to make things even more complex, fragile, and hard to change. In the pandemic, the public health folks may have to tweak all sorts of parameters weekly, or even daily. You canât do that with apps on 169 different types of phone and with peer-to-peer communications,â Prof. Ross Anderson.
Anderson has a number of reservations about contact tracing apps, including the National Health Serviceâs (NHS) poor record with data protection.
Promises; Promises. Israeli Health Ministry promises movements wonât be otherwise traced. A new Israeli app can instantly tell users if they have crossed paths with someone known to have been infected with the coronavirus.
Countries have been quick to use the one tool almost all of us carry with us: our smartphones. Governments are also receiving support from private tech companies. Samuel Woodhams, Top10VPN's Digital Rights Lead who compiled the index, warned that the world could slide into permanently increased surveillance.
Why is it when a new technology is introduced, evil people ALWAYS and THROUGHOUT HISTORY have asked, âHow can we use this to control and kill people?â A mini-drone now becomes a slaughterbot, essentially a bullet to the head after facial recognition. MANKIND has not changed; so knowing this, how long before contact tracing is used to eliminate people? A slaughterbot is a miniature drone that fits in the palm of your hand.
Everything T.H.E.Y. design gets hacked. So hackers can hack into this system and steal all your personal information.
The Government of Gibraltar says it needs at least 60% of population to download contact tracing app for it to work effectively. Itâs incremental surveillance and GOV overreach, but you can choose to opt out. How long will it take GOG to morph it into more surveillance?

âThe Challenge of Proximity Apps For COVID-19 Contact Tracingâ
EXCERPTS:
We should not trust any application, no matter how well-designed, to solve this crisis.
We should not excessively rely on the promise of an unproven app to make critical decisions.
Apps also donât take into account whether their users are wearing protective equipment.
We cannot solve a pandemic by coding the perfect app. Hard societal problems are not solved by magical technology.
Apps, and their collection of sensitive health and associational information, presents new risks for more users.
We do not sacrifice fundamental rights in an emergency.
Governments must not require the use of any proximity application. Nor should there be informal pressure to use the app in exchange for access to government services.
History has shown that exceptions to civil liberties protections made in a time of crisis often persist much longer than the crisis itself.
Please refer to this entire thread for more information about Contact Tracing.
Also before thinking TEMPERATURE SCANS are a great use of TECHNOLOGY, please read:
To upgrade or not to upgrade, that is the question. Fears of the worst sort are already cropping up as Apple has not made completely clear what software developers will be able to access and use the new core features that allow for Contact Tracing.
