Coronavirus Concern Up

[frustratedearthmother]

Apparently, since Covid prevented vaccinations being given to infants for the last couple of months, SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) has PLUMMETED. Something to think about.

Wow - that's impressive. Could you post the research on that?

Britesea, I am not able to get the link for the vaccine ingredients to work. I also don't have FB. :/

Thank you for printing this.

Good common sense advice and info @tortoise. Thanks!

he politicians blame the people in the bars but conveniently forget the rioters.

Were there riots in Ft. Bend Cty? How did I miss that?

‎4 of 50 States Participating
‎ *South Dakota “We are utilizing an app called Care 19 to assist with our contact tracing efforts. Care 19 requires an opt-in by users to provide us their location data, making it incredibly friendly to privacy concerns.”
‎ *West Virginia “No final decision has been made by West Virginia regarding the use of this technology.”
‎*California “We don’t have any updates on apps at this time, but if that changes, we will let you know.”
‎*Colorado “The State is not exploring using “exposure notification API” generated data at this time.”
‎*Washington “We are working in combination with University of Washington for an app that could be of assistance to people to find out if they have been in the proximity of people who are infected. That app could use hardware and software from Apple and Google. This is a very promising technology that we are working with the UW on.”
‎*Maryland “The Maryland Department of Health and local health departments will use the state-of-the-art contact tracing platform called COVID Link, which will assist in collecting information about people who test positive for COVID-19 and any individuals they have come into close contact with. COVID Link is expected to be operational by the end of the month.”
‎*Arizona “We are currently investigating all innovative strategies for conducting contact tracing.”
‎*Pennsylvania “The department is continuing to determine our next steps as far as a contact tracing app.”
‎*Tennessee “At this time the Tennessee Department of Health is not using an app for contact tracing or monitoring, and has not engaged in a vendor contract with any firm to help with contact tracing.”
‎*Wyoming “We have no current plans related to those type of apps.”
‎*Delaware “Delaware does not currently plan to use these technologies.”
‎*Ohio “We have no plans to do so at this time.”
‎*Missouri “We are considering a range of technologies to help with contact tracing, but we have not yet made any decisions.”
‎*Maine “At present, Maine CDC is reviewing the efficacy of the app you mention, as well as other apps that could aid our contact tracing efforts. The app to which you refer could prove helpful as travelers from other states visit Maine during the summer, so we are interested but still in the review process.”
‎*Michigan “We are reviewing many technology tools that have been offered to aid the COVID-19 response to ensure they adhere to our commitment to privacy. Our contact tracing is currently tech enabled through Deloitte, but people based through a multitude of volunteers. We are working with a university on a contact tracing program that will be announced in the near future and are leveraging texting as part of our current contact tracing efforts. To help Michiganders find testing near them, we are also offering an online testing locater powered by Castlight. This is part of a broader strategy to Contain COVID to help slow the spread of the virus, keep our first responders safe and save lives in Michigan.”

I am in the same club Britesea! I try to make sense and usually fail.

Here is what I found for the Android:

How To Disable Apple And Google’s COVID-19 Notifications On Your Phone

As the debate around Apple and Google's COVID-19 contact tracing app framework continues to grow, many people are asking how they can disable it.

www.forbes.com

Just go to the settings app, click on Google|COVID-19 exposure notifications, and you can toggle them on or off from there. From the same place, you can also delete any random IDs that have been stored by clicking on Delete random IDs|Delete.

Here is an article from Kim Komando who usually knows what she is talking about:

Did Google really install contact-tracing software on my Android in secret?

If you saw a viral Facebook post that claimed Google installed contact-tracing software on your Android without permission, don't worry. It's just a hoax.

Glad to be of assistance. I am learning like the rest of you.

Yeah, WHY?? Why haven’t all the years of coronavirus vaccines and research in cattle been used in research for people?
