Anonymous Coward User ID: 77062089 United States 06/19/2020 01:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How are they going to know if you have covid from just installing something? In the settings on Android it's pretty clear that you have to install a participating app. How could they know if you have covid? Unless you enter that into an app. If it's tracking you're worried about, they obviously are already doing that. |

And yes Google has your health status because the health department enters it in with your phone number. Leave your phone at home or get a Faraday bag. Quoting: Midkemia HIPAA violation. Why does a non-medical company have access to your records? |

The GPS location files updated whether switched on or off. Your phone always knows your locations, remembers them, and releases that data to any app or hidden process requesting it.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77610953 United States 06/19/2020 02:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If it was to help you, they would warn you with a map that says there are people with covid in your area. Then you could decide for yourself if you want to continue. Quoting: VigilantTexan Supposedly these people who tested positive are just handing over their cell phones to who? Their doctor? Then the doctor goes back to see all the contact the positive person made in the last 14 days? Who does the doctor or CDC report you and your phone to for contact tracing? Do they ask what phone service you are using when you test positive? I just don’t see people being honest and sharing that info. It’s like they automatically have all that info freely. Wish I knew how it worked. Very strange. |

HIPAA This is what I was thinking. How are they back tracing people and places they went by their cell phones? So everyone who tested positive is just handing over their cell phones? Haven’t heard of that. What if the doctors office or testing site only has your home phone number? Not everybody gives out their cell phone number. How are they getting this information? Sounds illegal to me. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77610953 United States 06/19/2020 02:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I use an iPad. For the last 8 days I keep getting this persistent notice to update. It says it will update that night but never does. So I go into settings to do it myself. Well....it won’t update. It just sends me to another site and gives info on the update. Guess because my iPad is not used for calls and no cell data , it is blocking me from the update. Why is their an iOS update but not for an iPad I only use at home? Obviously because it can’t work for contact tracing. Never had an update that wouldn’t work. |

It's the fact that someone else who has opted in and is positive may break their self quarantine, and cross your path in say a grocery store. Now your phone details have been transmitted to their app through bluetooth and then reported back to the county for tracing. Then you get knock on your door saying you were in the vicinity of a positive person, we need to test you. And once you're on that gov list, you will never get off of it. |

To add: There's a reason 20+ million cell phone accounts were cancelled in China when this was all starting. It was because the CCP were hunting people down by their phones. How well do you trust your governor? Do you want to get arrested and thrown in to a nursing home lockdown? |

Someone else with the app can pick up your basic phone details through bluetooth scanning. That's all it takes. From there, the county can find your number, account, name and address. For instance, if I turn on my tablet bluetooth, I can see my neighbor's TV. Of course, I don't have a password for their TV, but I can see make and model. I'm sure with these apps that have been downloaded, they can log more detail. |
