(vanity) state issues "Amber alert" on cell phones....for COVID hysteria!

So at 5:00 Eastern we just got our cell phones buzzing loudly.

We figure it's an Amber Alert.

Annoying as those are....

Biden isn’t president yet, and we are having covid mandates shoved down our throats!

Either way, it’s NOT an emergency!

Stop scaring people with these loud alerts! (As stated, I’m not crazy about it for a single victim. It’s loud and scary - when you’re driving?)

It’s not like any of this is like 9/11. Now THAT’S an emergency.

I turned my amber alerts off a long time ago. They’re useless in any situation. If a kid is missing they’re going to send me a text message with a description? Oh OK🙄 I’ll keep my “eyes” out for a 5’6”, 16 year old girl with brown hair and blue eyes.

FReeper linMcHlp nailed it on another thread, they’re trying to distract everyone from the crushing Senate hearing today in PA.

Nothing yet in N. California, except our daily Covid test reports based on old PCR leftovers which magically become new Covid infections.

you know, admin/mods lock threads all the time with the message, “search still works”.

Well, it must not, or this wouldn’t happen so often. Or it must be so mysterious and cumbersome to use, that people just forego the experience.

search needs an upgrade.

Just got one and it scared the hell out of me.
I thought my devil car was throwing an error noise and then realized it was an End Of The World screech like the old radio alert test.
Grabbed the phone and saw what it and got pissed.
I just turned the alerts OFF and some of “contact tracker alert” I didn’t even know was on here.
Bastards!

Got an emergency PSA in PA at 4:30

Prolly distracting from the court hearing.

My iPhone has 3 types.
Amber, “health” and regular emergency alerts.
The “health “ one is new.

That and too let us know what a Biden admin can do to our everyday life.

Frankly, I’ve complained how lame the search is. It’s about as useful as the Google search on a couple words. Thousands of results in various order.
