Mexicans in Mexico give zero shits about Covid. For the extremely poor ones it sucks, especially elderly because they won't get healthcare, period. Likely just die at home if they have a bad case of the rona. Was just down there and didn't wear a mask at all outside the airport. Only was close to people though when servers came by... which was often with some cerveza.
They had one of those thermal cameras once through Mexican customs, which is more than the states. Not that I like that type of thing anyway. For some reason they wanted the separate Covid form filled out on the way OUT of the country. Didn't make sense to me if I had beed spreading it while I was there. I guess I told the government on the incoming declaration form where I was staying. Filled that out half assed though.
Either way, the phone is being weaponized. I'm sure it's out there in CA, but menu-less dining. You scan a QR code to get the menu on your phone. By default in most cases you've now got that data on your phone and most people leave location settings on. It's verification you were there. No denying it saying GPS was off or something. So the good 'ole US of A basically snuck it in anyway whether you know it or not through the menu.
The level of 1984 in the States has gone from 3 to a 10 in seven months. It's rather scary.
Good for the Mexicans! They are a good example here.
Any attempt at mandatory location tracking of all citizens in the US should be met with gunfire. The Second Amendment exists to prevent this kind of dictatorship.

I don't carry my phone anymore.
It's very liberating.
I turn it on once per day to check for texts or voice mail, then turn it off again and put it in a drawer.

Australia: Police used covid tracing data in criminal investigations (after promising they never would)
Just as expected.

In the USA, the FBI would use it to track anyone who attended a Trump or DeSantis political rally.

Yep, sounds like a normal reaction, especially in a country where people aren't in denial about the corruption of their central government.

As I understand the whole "contract tracing" bullshit has failed miserably in US too.

Oh, the Dems know it is corrupt here. They do not mind because the corruption is on their side and they can make bank. This is why Trump merely looking into Biden corruption was considered an impeachable offence.
