Australia's Next Authoritarian Move To Control Covid Is So Insane That It Would Make Orwell Blush

Read this from The Atlantic and understand that the following is not satire.

Intrastate travel within Australia is also severely restricted. And the government of South Australia, one of the country’s six states, developed and is now testing an app as Orwellian as any in the free world to enforce its quarantine rules. People in South Australia will be forced to download an app that combines facial recognition and geolocation. The state will text them at random times, and thereafter they will have 15 minutes to take a picture of their face in the location where they are supposed to be. Should they fail, the local police department will be sent to follow up in person. “We don’t tell them how often or when, on a random basis they have to reply within 15 minutes,” Premier Steven Marshall explained. “I think every South Australian should feel pretty proud that we are the national pilot for the home-based quarantine app.”

Flash flood that happened in Waverly TN USA on Aug 21 in the span of 12 minutes. The video is running at 6 times the normal speed so it makes it look even worse, as if cars being carried into the side of your house wasn't bad enough.Here are a few brief excerpts.
