Coronavirus: People-tracking wristbands tested to enforce lockdown
BBC ^ | 24 April 2020

Posted on 04/25/2020 6:39:11 PM PDT by BenLurkin

Up to 50 residents in Sofia will be given a device that can record their movements using GPS satellite location data.

Several nations are testing similar wristbands to make sure people are obeying orders to stay at home.

South Korea and Hong Kong have also been using electronic trackers to help enforce quarantine.

The trial in Bulgaria will use Comarch LifeWristbands, developed in Poland.

As well as confirming a person is staying at home, the device can monitor the wearer's heart rate and be used to call the emergency services.

The device was introduced after people were caught leaving their smartphones at home to avoid detection.

The band can alert the authorities if the wearer leaves home or tries to remove the device

Many things like this are disabled if a strong magnet is placed on it. Just saying.

Why, what a wonderful idea!

If we could get everyone to wear one, then we'd know where they were and what they were doing all the time, and we could keep them safe!

Even those pesky bitter clinging Trumpers who won't think right or do what we say, we can watch them and stop them before they do something unsafe!

If it saves even one life...

this measure is approved by Jeffrey Epstein’s good friend, Bill Gates.

Americanism, not Globalism, will be our credo!

This is a test ?

Us Californians are learning to live without electricity and with criminals Released and wandering our streets.

Now the Corona Virus that’s turning out to be as ridiculous as PG&E arbitrarily shutting off our power or politicians deciding criminals are no longer dangerous.

Can’t help but think we’re being trained for total chaos.

Just for fun I ran my drivers license by a magnet. It doesn’t scan anymore. A shame.

That's the money quote right there. That's the boundary, the demarcation, the distinction between a sovereign citizen and a serf.
It has been attributed to George Washington (as well as Emiliano Zapata, BTW) the saying that Americans would rather die on their feet than live on their knees. To me, the choice is trivial.

This virus is being used to develop all sorts of tracking devices. However it’s not our job to assist the medical scientists and such to do what they should be figuring out on their own.

The hospitals are not being over run....we have all helped to curtail that.....past time to get on with our life and work and those in the sciences continue their work.
