    WTF! That's not cool! Too bad it isn't an actual app that I can stop with BK Disabler.

    Guess I'll make sure to never have BT and location on at the same time.

    Edit to add: I guess that's not true in my case since I don't have a participating app installed for it (and never will). Just tested to see what would happen and turned on BT and location but the Google COVID service didn't automatically turn on. See screenshot.

      I would prefer to be notified if I came in contact with a Covid positive so I could take precautions not to pass it to anyone else.

        That is the purpose of the App. Of course for it to work, it needs to be enabled both on your phone and the Covid positive persons phone. In addition the COVID positive person must be aware of that fact and have entered that fact into his/her phone. You also have to be within Bluetooth range of the other phone long enough for them to establish communication. At least they didn't try to use NFC.

          President Trump is preparing to attend a second election campaign stop in Yuma, Arizona to talk about the progress on building the border wall tomorrow.

          Yuma is quite possibly the most COVID-19 infected location in the USA right now with the healthcare system unable to cope with the surge in patients.

          He plans a rally at a 3,000 person Church the next day in nearby Phoenix.

          President Trump is now trailing in all polls against VP BIden by as much as 14% as voters across the country are rejecting his response to the pandemic.

          Corona Virus is now rapidly spreading in Florida and could soon become the new hot spot in the country.

          Gov Cuomo of New York is considering a ban on all visitors to the state from Florida due to fears that these people could set back all of the progress the state has made with now less than COVID-19 10 deaths per day.

            It's not much to be concerned about it's just a framework that enables apps to use bluetooth when the phone is asleep in your pocket. I read a few months back that an IOS covid app would need the screen on all the time for the app to work and is probably something similar for android, obviously this would be impossible.
            What apple and google have done is pushed out an update that gived people that use a covid app some privacy hence the random id's

                            That is super racist of Lincoln County, Oregon to assume that only African-Americans wear masks to commit crimes.

                              Based on that, it seems *AS IF* this *ENGINEERED VIRUS* has a EUGENICS Aspect to it?![emoji848][emoji15]
