Microsoft has developed a “Daily-Pass” app that will track children going in and out of schools and mark down any of Covid-19 symptoms. The app is being launched in Los Angeles schools for its initial run but some are pushing this to be used nationally.
From The Los Angeles Times:
The Los Angeles school district says it’s ready to launch a Microsoft-supported “Daily Pass” app when campuses reopen, enabling officials to quickly isolate anyone at a school who has symptoms of COVID-19 or has contracted the virus, an important component to safely reopening schools, Supt. Austin Beutner said Monday.
The long-awaited app was first announced in August, and has been put forth publicly as imminently ready to go several times only to be pulled back again.
Beutner has explained the repeated delays as the district taking advantage of an opportunity to refine the app — something that made sense given that campuses were not open and the need for the app was less pressing.
While the “Daily-Pass” app has its supporters in the LA school district there are just as many if not more detractors.
Many online have railed against the proposal stating that it is anti-American, will do very little to stop the spread of Covid-19, and is a privacy nightmare.
LA public schools released this promotional video about the new App:
Are these people born Stupid or did they spend 4 years in college to get such a high level of stupidity? Why the hell would anyone want Microsoft to track anything let alone your kids. They have trouble keeping hackers out of their software, something they have been building for ages and you want to trust them with your children. I know where my children are as any good parent should and my children know the consequences for not being at that place at that time. I would be willing to bet that the average citizen in China doesn’t willingly give up this kind of information to their government. Here is a thought why not just take your kids over to the Vet and have them plac3e one of those chips in the back of their neck then you know that they can’t turn it off and sneak out of the house without you knowing
Too bad hitler wasnt killed years before he died or millions of people would have been saved
NO WAY! This is as close to communism that we can get. We are a free country which is ruled by the CONSTITUTION and we do not have KINGS. The government is totally dangerous at this time. They want more and more power which equals COMMUNISM. Pray for our country and vote carefully.
Does anyone care that kids don’t get the China bug?
If they do it’s minor and they don’t seem to pass it to teachers.
But hey, that’s the science and what is science compared to the teacher’s union.
