    DATA IS THE NEW OIL!

    The data in a picture of a bar code with an accessible payload with your full name and age. Govt: Apple is storing that not us and you agreed to it.

    you download your QR code to your photos on your IOS device. You have already allowed Apple access to your camera: this means: the app gets access to write new photos/images to your Camera Roll and to read all your photos on the device in an unencrypted form.

    When you open that QR code to get scanned it sends a payload with lat long (used for sorting by location building those memories crap in photo app and such ) .

    What's in the icloud meta payload?

    iPhone model - studies show clear indicator of financial status
    Date time - like when the image was taken and the last time opened.
    Lat long - like where the image was taken and the last place opened.
    first name, last name, birthdate, vax status. - in the fing QR code.

    The QR business reader is the red herring. it really doesn't do much.

    I DONT CARE IF I GET TRACKED! I just go to the weed store and the odd bar.

    Here is a scenario: they crunch the data and realize you are drinking more, fitness less and hanging out in shady places and looks like the marriage is on the rocks.

    Your health insurance goes up, your car insurance goes up and your mortgage rate offering seems high. And bank advisor just says that's what the computer algo says, sorry! it won't even let me adjust that number.

    A drivers license does not need to be scanned!

    People are developing diabetes after COVID-19. It might be because the virus messing with insulin-producing cells.

    • And Jan-October 2020 had 300,000 excess deaths, and about 200,000 are directly attributed to COVID. It's not really hard to wrap your mind around.garbage
    • lets have long-term lock downs so we can "avoid" long term consequences of covid - that's some genius thinking right there i tell you.pr2
    • I don't know how people can still be debating this. The reality you see on the ground totally contradicts the idea that it's not a threat.yuekit
    • Earlier this year India decided it's OK, no need for any lockdown and masks, we already beat the virus. So they went ahead with giant religious festivals...yuekit
    • And I guess pr2 you would have agreed with that approach right?yuekit
    • The result was that millions of people died in only this one country, the health system collapsed and there were mass cremations of bodies in every town.yuekit

    State of the blade:

    Although this should not new news, many still think they are protected and not contagious with 2 initial shots. This was true for the vaccinations when delta was not yet so widespread but unfortunately this has changed a lot in the last months.

    Also that vaccinated people can often excrete as much or more virus in the short term has still not arrived in the general population. ICU are filling up from week to week with more and more breakthroughs since delta not just in Israel. Vaccinated people are no longer tested and can pass on the virus symptomatically or asymptomatically.

    Herd immunity could not be achieved because protection fades quickly. intensive care units are filling up from week to week with more and more breakthroughs since delta. vaccinated people are no longer tested and can pass on the virus symptomatically or asymptomatically.

    we could have communicated it better to the people, but who would still get vaccinated? vaccination still seems to protect against severe courses, at least the young ones. as it looks now, the older and risk groups would have to get vaccinated every 3-4 months because of the fast fading. is this an option? maybe it wasn't right to vaccinate all the young healthy people - but it wasn't long ago and we thought this was the only way we could actually protect the old with herd immunity. delta has finally destroyed that. looks like it's over when we've all had covid, and this sucks!
