We do & look at it each day wondering how we here drove off the cliff. But as there’s no inherent right to privacy, you have to make it yourself. I’d check your federal laws to see how you stand. But don’t kid yourself, if it isn’t in your neighbourhood it soon will be. For example, police cars have for years been mobile computers complete with cameras.

It's already here... the majority of our population has access to some sort of smart phone device. When you have mini computers with microphones, cameras, and GPS, it ain't gonna be difficult to figure out when someone is having a bowel movement.
Imagine crosschecking stationary GPS data with Candy Crush usage...
You goddit!

Oh I know. How else are newspapers getting movement data and then writing articles to try and shame people into doing nothing. Instagram got an update in the past week that should have had a push notification to you if you have an account asking if it could access your GPS data.It's already here... the majority of our population has access to some sort of smart phone device.

Hence why phones or non approved electronic devices are verboten anywhere sensitive. It's not just GPS data, there is a lot you can tell about behavior based on the apps, income level, and social media accounts a person has.
This isn't anything new either. Archaeologists do the same sort of data analysis with discarded scraps. Combine that methodology with modern information systems and the world becomes very dark indeed. Makes 1984 or Fahrenheit 451 seem like a kids fairy tale dream.

NYT published the names of every person who's died from COVID-19 on their front page. Funny, haven't done that with terror attacks. Also more serious and not funny. A bunch of these dudes were confirmed as COVID-19 related gunshot homicides.
I've never liked or believed "statistics" before. Now, since COVID, I don't believe any of them anymore. After taking statistics, I knew then they aren't worth the time it takes to quote them. COVID stats are a joke....

Okay. How many Americans do YOU think have died from the virus?
It really doesn't matter. I know it's not the amount that *they* are saying it is. You can choose to believe them if you so choose; however, I won't.
Do you believe in excess death stats? Because a lot of extra people are dying that wouldn't normally be dying. They've got to be dying of something.
more people are dying. Law enforcement won't play as hard as they have been, because it could get them killed even worse. The Cannonball record's been broken 7 times over since this shit started and you haven't been able to go home.
What's your point?
This could be the potential breakthrough the world needs right now. Synthetic antibodies created here in Canada. Current work to fast track it into production.
U of T researcher believes they’ve found a cure for COVID-19

Just that a place that keeps good weekly death stats like the UK, has had 55000 more deaths than they normally would since the last week of March. Maybe everyone took up running with scissors, I don't know.
We have some germ nerds about to commmence a clinical trial here too.
