Popular Post RJRS1301 Posted October 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2020 One wonders who will finance this? Will the tourist be expected to purchase the mandatory band? Will they be collected on departure at immigration, how will they be sanitised? What occurs if they are removed from the arm? What happens to bilateral amputees? Which member of whose family owns the company developing the band? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 From the linked article I wonder how waterproof / impact resistant (falling off M/C) it is. Does it need charging? How do I wear it with my Rolex? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Chance Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Stuck in a concrete box for 24 hours a day for 14 days, i think i have plenty of time to check my own temperature. If they think i am going to wear that thing for months in Thailand, they are out of their minds. They do not seem to understand western culture. We like freedom. We don't want to be tracked, surveiled, snooping on our internet or snooped with CCTV cams 24 hours a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are already surveilled 24/7 through the instruments you mentioned including your mobile/smart phone, and that goes for most "democratic" countries as well 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just need the right software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadilo Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Great question below the article: “2 weeks quarantine , then tracking you wherever you go does not really seems to me as a dream vacation.What happens if I go to Soi 6, or to a relaxing massage and they see my heartrate beating like a helicopter?They may send a helthcare squad to catch me during action.“ ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaibeachlovers Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 NZ is trialing a card that indicates when one is next to a person that also has a card. It doesn't track one ( so they claim ), so I like that idea. If everyone has one then if one is infected they can contact all those that were in close proximity. Tracking one's movements has sinister connotations, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
