    Nothing in that link you sent said anything about people dying of starvation.

    If you are gullible enough to think people don’t die in the UK due to issues related to food poverty then I don’t know what to say. You do know it’s not just starvation you die of, and we are going on about an app tracing people movements whilst people can’t eat.

    Well he’s not talking about vaccines in general, he is talking about changes in the Law on vaccines. I’ve not got any problem.

    Well you can’t tell the difference from people dying because of hunger related issues and sheer starvation, and now who’s the one with a problem?

    Hunger related issues could be literally anything due to a run down immune system from lack of nutrition. Not quantifiable as you know.

    Those people are still dying due to being starved of food, the numbers for the last few years are way up. But no one dies of starvation in the UK do they? That’s just in hospitals which are recorded.

    I probably will.

    It makes no sense to me why they haven't gone down the decentralised route though. They've wasted money and created uncertainty about privacy in making it centralised, when Google and Apple had already done the work.

    As far as I'm aware it only has access to your Bluetooth, which is fine by me.

    It's not like they can use it to watch me on the toilet. They'll need to subscribe to my onlyfans if they want that.

    Bluetooth is how it pings with other devices to find out who you have been in contact with, it uses the GPS (Location data) to pinpoint your location at this particular timestamp to determine where you were and who else was in the vicinity at the same time. Both are sent to the centralised database.

    1 new subscriber to your OnlyFans...was your username on here a typo?

    Their biggest mistake was calling it the contact tracing up. Folk are bound to * themselves over a name like that.

    They should've just called it a social network and folk would have given them every permission going, no questions asked.

    Said no but it wont matter because if i pass by someone who has their bluetooth enabled on their smartphone it will access my phone if my bluetooth is on, without my permission.
    Problem i have with it is that Dominic cummins friend's brother got the contract for this. The same scumbag who helped with the data in vote leave campaign.
