Some Minneapolis bus drivers have refused to transport thugs or the protesters they have arrested.

Protesters endangering themselves and others by not distancing or wearing masks

People protesting the murder of George Floyd are gratuitously endangering themselves and others by not maintaining safe physical distance and going without masks.

It is hard to stay safe from the thugs, but you can at least keep fairly safe from Covid-19.

In Flint, Michigan the cops joined the protest and no one was injured or arrested

In much-oppressed Flint, Michigan, the cops joined the protest against the murder of George Floyd. The whole town rallied and no one was injured or arrested.

It looks like Flint cops are police officers, rather than thugs.

Britain's contact-tracing app and its policies are absurd

mercredi 3 juin 2020 à 02:00

Britain's contact-tracing app, and its policies, are absurd. As a result, the app won't do much to quash Covid-19, and people don't want to install it.

If Britain fixed its policies, and made its app respect privacy, people would eagerly use it. Even I would use it, if I could run it on a device that had no microphone and that didn't report anything about me except the data needed for contact tracing.

The UK government is being sued for plans to collect and retain too much data.

Quashing Covid-19 justifies an increase in tracking, but it has to collect and centralize the least data possible.
