Everyone has a smartphone, the.government gives them out to the poor” who doesn’t if you think the excuse of I left my smart phone at home will work that’s delusional. First off the database won’t be on your smartphone phone only the QR code needed to trigger the link to the.central database that will return all the information to the entity checking it. For “those who lack a smartphone” the county can just mail a hard card with a QR code thats 4,000+ bytes of unique data more than enough for a complete blockchain. That card will be unique and uncopyable why because it links to one person’s data verified by biometrics. Remember that Real ID law that every state had until October 2019 to comply with well the states have taken by now everyone’s thumb prints at the minimum along with a facial recognition image. Look at the back of your driver’s license or state ID if it has the gold star on the front it will have a 3D barcode on the back that’s your digital finger prints and image. Texas scanned that when we get the shots tying the person to the shot vial they scanned that as well I watched them do mine. HIPPA flat out doesn’t apply to state and county level health departments they are excluded in the text of the law read the text it’s clear who and ONLY who it applies too the state and county are not there. Here in Texas nearly every bar already has the system to scan IDs and return the person’s state database DL info it’s used to catch fake id’s and is requried in college town bars Austin uses it all around UT campus. You scan the barcode on the back of the ID and in seconds the image of the real person pops up along with an image of the front of the ID and all the info on it no way to fake an ID when it’s counter verified against a main database that’s why TABC mandates it near colleges it virtually eliminates fake id’s. The very same system can and mostly will be used to just add a line on the read out to show covid status they already scanned the real id when you got your shot and it’s tied to an individual at that point. For those very few who don’t have a smart phone the database will just be tied to the DL or a card the county mails out with your individual QR code that brings up your info on the terminal.

That's not quite true.

In my zip code, no one was able to get the 'bama phone. My friend in Colorado wasn't able to get one either. We figure that it was because those phones don't work in our areas. We live in the dead zones. Landlines work great!
