COVID-19, with over a 99.5% recovery rate, has prompted the state of California to enact a draconian lockdown on its people. Anyone deemed “non-essential” must stay at home, wear a face mask, and social distance. They’re so serious, they sent out a statewide “severe alert” to all cell phones in the state

[artichokegrower]

Got the alert on my cell phone. Seems that Newsollini is up to something.

First Amendment?

Anyone?

[Safrguns]

They are overplaying their hand, and it’s gonna get bit off with prejudice!

This is turning into high farce—”Idiocracy” stuff.

Of course—I have a _very_ dark sense of humor. :-)

[hal ogen]

My goodness. Are all government “workers” nitwits or what? Screw’em. Keep you phone turned off except when you are using it. Ignore such unconstitutional BS.

[BipolarBob]

It’s time to load up the truck and move from Beverly . . Hills that is. Lockdowns and lockouts.

[dinodino]

Yeah, all the phones in the office went off at the same time—scared the crap out of us.

"...severe lockdown alert..."

Must have been kind of like when everyone's iPhone barks simultaneously with the tornado/hurricane alarms.

Do you have a middle-finger pic on your cell phone?

My friend who lives in Santa Clara County told me of an associate who traveled by car to a distant property he owns. He got an alert on his phone from the county telling him he must quarantine for 14 days. The same government who can contact you by your phone can also track you by it

[faithhopecharity]

Almost everyone is sick and tired of the politicians’ Bullsheit “orders” and will simply ignore it delete their offensive messages

[genghis]

When does the shooting started

[kvanbrunt2]

can you reply back to the source. shut it down.

[dinodino]

He must have installed the Android California Covid Tracker. If you don’t install that, you won’t get tracked. The iOS version is coming in a few days, but requires opt-in.

[mylife]

I see it in real life every day.

[Zeddicus]

If we let this corona tyranny continue, and allow Biden to take the White House, we may as well just take the original Declaration of Independence and Constitution out of the National Archives, and set them on fire.

a distant property he owns

If it was within cell phone range, it was not "distant" enough. :-)

We "country" folk are "out of range" of the sleazy bureaucrats.
