This is not OK - under any grounds. Time to wake up and act! It is happening to the Australians. First a 79year old man, now a pregnant mother and I am sure many more. We have given our govt and health authorities too much power. Is this coming to Canada? Why not, how truly different are we thank Oz
Be careful!!

Apple and Google Have Launched COVID-19 Exposure Notifications Without an App
📱Apple and Google have announced they’re expanding their COVID-19 exposure warning system so health agencies can take part without needing to create a customized app. It’s a significant upgrade to the system, which uses Bluetooth to work out if people have spent extended periods of time near each other and then notifies the close contacts of someone who tests positive for SARS-CoV-2.
The original system launched in May and has since been adopted by six states in the US and at least 15 countries. Maryland, Nevada, Virginia, and Washington, DC, will be the first to sign up to use the revamped system, Apple and Google said in a conference call.
In states or regions that have enabled the “Exposure Notifications Express” tool, a prompt will flash up on phones with the latest version of Apple or Android’s operating system, informing the user that it’s available. @COVID19Up SOURCE

CDC Asks States to Have Vaccine Sites Ready by November 1
The CDC asked state governors last week to speed applications for building permits for vaccine distribution sites that would be operational just before November’s elections.
In a letter to state governors and health departments, CDC Director Robert Redfield said the McKesson Corporation and its subsidiaries would soon be applying for permits to build distribution sites. He asked governors to consider waiving requirements that would delay construction or opening the sites.
“The normal time required to obtain these permits presents a significant barrier to the success of this urgent public health program,” Redfield wrote. “CDC urgently requests your assistance in expediting applications for these distribution facilities and, if necessary, asks that you consider waiving requirements that would prevent these facilities from becoming fully operational by November 1, 2020.”
