Our cell phones are doing that for them. They just use the GPS data in our phones to determine where we've been and then they use the cell towers to ping others in our vicinity and track them as well. [/quote] Yes exactly this. Scary to think what they will do with this information. [/quote] One of the Detroit news papers the other day publish an article about cell phones keeping track of our whereabouts It was such a happy upbeat article telling us how lucky we are that we have such technology [/quote] My husband's phone started giving him weird messages last weekend. Must have been an update to iphones. I think it's probably best to leave our phones at home if we have to go somewhere other than work. [/quote] I think so too When Michigan went into lockdown my cell phone went off with the emergency alert but what’s strange is I have emergency alerts turned off I’m also getting a ton of emails from places I’ve never visited but have talked about the last couple days if that makes any sense Another oddity that I noticed, I have a doctor portal app so I can keep track of my test results I tried to download the app to my phone the other day because I was going to do a virtual appointment with the doctor and the new app is actually the iPhone app that comes on our phones It didn’t match the original app that I downloaded years ago so I started reading it and that’s when I learned Apple was linking to my old patient portal If I had not been paying attention I would’ve just figured it was a new app design [/quote] Oh, kpm, that's scary about the patient portal. I do like accessing my lab results online, but I really do hate to think what some of these big tech companies can/will do with our data. In my husband's case, he went to mow grass at our camp. When he got in the truck to drive home, his phone popped up with a message telling him that he would be home in so much time. He almost never uses any kind of map and/or directions app, so this was just out of the blue for him. It did something else too but I can't remember what it was right now. [/quote] They are definitely tracking us more than ever right now I had my phone on my nightstand charging and it lit itself up like I touch the home button a few times all on its own I deleted the Apple doctor app as soon as I read the disclaimer, they are so sneaky [/quote]

Okay I'm sure this is probably completely above board, but it's giving me chills...Any thoughts?
Convention Center field hospital gets thousands of beds
There will also be a new 250-patient facility across the street from the convention center for people who think they may have COVID-19 but whose test results have not come back yet, according to Sarah Babcock with the New Orleans Health Department.
“The space across the street from the convention center is called a personal housing unit, and this is an area for persons under investigation,”
said Babcock. “Those individuals have to be kept separate because if they turn out to be negative, we don’t want them with people who are positive. These are more individualized units with the same amount of attention someone inside the convention center would have. ”
The state of Louisiana has contracted out the medical staff for the convention center with wrap-around services from the state and city, according to Babcock. The facility across the street from the convention center will be staffed by the U.S. Navy and their medical teams.
