Covid-19 Contact Tracing App

As you probably know by now, The US, in general, is way behind most of the world in Covid-19 recovery. The US isn’t testing enough, and also, many folks just refuse to believe it. Countries doing much better than us typically were more forceful in testing, contact tracing, and quarantining. These are things many people in the US just aren’t willing to do, for various reasons.

If, however, you are a believer in this virus and the pain and suffering it has caused hundreds of thousands of people here, then read on, otherwise, don’t.

So, you think Covid-19 is real. So do I. Also, I’d like to be a part of the reason it gets better in this country. Like you, I care about my fellow person, and I want to help. I stay home when possible, wear a mask around anyone, and if I somehow still manage to get it, I want folks around me to know.

One of the best ways to do this is with contact tracing apps. Google and iPhone have “partnered” to create a way to ANONYMOUSLY do contact tracing using an app in your phone. It has to be downloaded and activated to work, and of course, if you end up with Covid-19, you need to tell the app. A link to an explanation for this is HERE.

Now, there are conspiracy theories about how it’s being forced on you secretly and it’s really so the government can track you. That is false, and an article on that is HERE.

Let me clarify, the government can spy on you already, they don’t need this app. This app is legitimate. I don’t mean to scare anyone, or ‘prove’ conspiracy theories. Remember phone taps? That’s a thing you plainly know about, and it’s been around ‘forever’. J. Edgar Hoover was famous for them. He bugged EVERYONE. Like it or not, we live in a world of intense advertising and info sharing. Facebook is another place people are freely giving away all kinds of information about themselves. If you want to live in a cave, that’s fine. If you want to live in this world, there are precautions you can take, and there is info you will be giving. It’s currently still a fair trade. I don’t know how long it will stay that way.

The Covid-19 tracing app is a good thing right now (although not currently available in NM). The more folks that use it, the better it will work, like mask wearing.
