We've already surrendered so much privacy to corporations and the government that something like this would've been the way to go to fight this virus, far preferable to directly impacting people's daily lives and businesses. A lot fewer people would've been affected had the government developed plans like this years ago. Which if they're going to spy on us they damn well should have done something like that.

I don't know if they'll implement it in Australia or elsewhere, but it's going mostly ignored in SK. The young people just ignore the constant alerts. Even they're questioning the invasion of privacy over there.
But yeah, they already have access to it. Do it, faggots.

It's just really ridiculous, because I could understand if this were Ebola. Or TB. If it had a high mortality rate. It doesn't.

It was more the term "Home Detention" that I was surprised about. Well, not that surprised, just surprised it's actually what is getting bandied around more by media/political figures. In a rather smug way too. Like "Don't get your hopes up you'll be let out anytime soon" (Something ACTUALLY said at a briefing). It's being used as a threat and not a measure of protection, like it is the world over.
 
lol at dweebs now ready to trade one form of imprisonment (their words) for another.

I'm surprised that we aren't seeing more of a neo-prohibitionist push against legal marijuana sales in states where it's legal like we've been seeing from dipshits like Peter Bach in regards to alcohol.

San Francisco and Los Angeles banned legal dispensaries at first from operating in the early part of the lockdown but backed off after legal pressure due to the medical marijuana aspect of it.

Not to P/L, but in my case in Los Angeles the lockdown hasn't curtailed grey market/black market marijuana sales one bit.

I'm sure the revenues generated by pot (and booze) in WA are helping a lot in these times. I've heard of no one in this region seriously proposing prohibition. I think the state would lol, in fact I'm sure they're happy it went through now. IIRC, some of that sin tax stuff goes into the medical system funding, although I am unsure where.

Fair. I was admittedly being snippy because it sounds like some crap my city would try as the social order crumbles around us...but thanks for being patient!

To be fair, most germans like Garak havent lost their job. essential work is pretty broad and its realy hard to fire somebody in germany.
 
Going to get puzzle pieces, but I have a feeling some of the more indignant, mentally-unwell members of the high school class of 2020 will shoot up some class of 2021 graduation ceremonies as a sick form of retribution. Don't ask why I'm thinking of this.

I'm not for the tracking either. But if the government is going to do it, then do it. Watch how people leave their phones at home, turn off the location data or ignore the messages.

There is no reason, whatsoever, for any of this, outside of a privacy/power grab.
 
Here's a horrifying thought for the people who want a 2 year long lockdown: Imagine being the parent of a teenager with all of the bullshit that comes along with and having them lose two years of their lives and socialization to mandatory isolation. With all those raging hormones and lack of human contact with the opposite sex your kids are going to come out as super fucked up, internet porn fueled quaker weirdos. :o

I can't give you an inside perspective, but what I can say is that every person who has been wholly covered up while wearing disposable gloves and a mask WHILE either standing a foot away from me or blocking an entrance to a store has been African American.

Weird, here nearly everyone at the supermarket wears masks, and this is here in MA, probably the only blue state to not have a shelter-in-place order yet.

The problem is all of the food is within grabbing and nibbling distance and there are no co-workers or bosses around to give you the stinkeye. Doesn't help that the weather around here decided to turn the clock back to February, making every trip outside a polar expedition.
 
Science is more important.
