IN A WORLD where just about everything is traceable, it does not come as a surprise that Americans’ cell phones are now a great way to track who is self-isolating and social distancing. Unacast, a company that collects and analyzes phone GPS location data, just revealed its “Social Distancing Scoreboard” that shows which residents around the country are actually abiding by the behavior encouraged by health officials.
Unacast compared current location data to data collected on a typical pre-pandemic day, and noted changes in distance traveled, time spent around the house, and activity clusters.
Maybe someone will come up with a removable "sneeze sleeve"? Or snot mask to go on the sleeve...
I'm funny I was just saying at work Friday they don't want you to shake hands they don't want you to bump fast they want you to bump elbows. But then where do they want you to sneeze and cough?

Every time someone wants you to elbow bump, sneeze into your elbow, then wipe your nose there, THEN offer your elbow...

Maybe they can just attach the fine for not staying home to your cell phone bill.

NY governor calls to keep everything locked down up to 9 months. November is how far away?
You can bet your ass they'll lift SIP restrictions to let people vote (non vote by mail Statesl, unless Trump is leading in the polls. Then all States will probably be vote by mail, so the ballots can be lost and found as necessary.

Here's a doctor from NYC. I found this video very reassuring.
Dr. David Price of Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City shares information in a March 22 Zoom call with family and friends on empowering and protecting families during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pretty much exactly what I have been saying...........all about viral load. You are not going to get it because some positive person walks through a store. Sustained contact. Viral load. CONTACT.

Gov. Polis in CO stated they are watching cell phone movement, and he thinks there is too much. He’s also running with a model that has an R0 of 4, with fatality numbers that are lunacy.
I’m not getting a good feeling about the .gov not getting heavy handed with this.

They have to tell us what is their expectation. Is anyone with half a brain gonna believe them if they tell us they want yo squash this virus to no return? It is a flu bug, for crying out loud. People will always get sick, and unfortunately, people die everyday. Unless the sm/ gov wants to post a scoreboard of how many dies everyday by opiod, texting while driving, etc vs this covid19, it is all about control.
