Hmm, I already have the CovidSAFE and SafeWA apps on my phone and here in WA you are required to sign in with the SafeWA app (or use pen and paper if you don't have a smartphone) at every single business you go to these days.

Now we are going to have yet another government app on our phones (or paper equivalent) which will no doubt be required to go almost anywhere outside your home eventually.

For some reason, this keeps coming to mind:

Your papers, please

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Your_papers,_please

Quote:

"Your papers, please" (or "Papers, please") is an expression or trope associated with police state functionaries, allegedly popularized in Hollywood movies featuring Nazi Party officials demanding identification from citizens during random stops or at checkpoints. It is a cultural metaphor for life in a police state.

I'm also curious about the incredible speed that these COVID apps, etc. have been set up by governments - both State and Federal yet when it comes to things like helping the homeless and the unemployed they move at their regular snails pace (if they even move at all).

My bad, but my reading is that you don't need to do it.

I think the narrative will run something like this

When you attend your vaccination site you will be asked to fill in some paperwork so as to obtain a valid consent for the vaccination

So a nurse will ask you

Do you wish to have this vaccination

And she will then be sitting there with a pen and I little box that says yes

If you say no I am here because my employer insists I have the vaccination

She will refuse to tick the little box

And she will say unto you

That is not valid consent

Please remove yourself from the premises

have you tried to navigate that in a hurry. Undecided

Nothing is simple when the public service run it.

But I could not see them using a piece of paper for this

I think there will be some sort of government website where all the details are stored

And they will be responsible for it's security and updating

and probably the people doing the vaccinations will have a password so they can access it and see what people have had or not had

It will probably be part of the Australian vaccination register
Which is accessible to all
Medical practices hospitals pharmacies day care centres and schools
And of course is linked to Centrelink for things like family tax benefit
And they will probably link it to your my health record as well

In a way kovid is a good way to push
Digital health

And we certainly know that the various software & information technology companies
Are loving the covid situation

Nothing has driven technological change like working from home etcetera
As much as this crisis

I think the figure is 82% of office space in New York is currently empty
And a lot of those people will probably demand the right to continue working from home indefinitely
Big changes on the way

In Melbourne... any entry to a place requires that time to “sign in” with mobile phone over the security code... those that don’t have a smart phone are asked to write their details in a book.

I wonder how long we have to keep doing this for?
