That, and tracking you via phone & bluetooth while you are inside a store,

That I can understand because the store wants to know where majority of its customers are walking and how to best lay out the goods to streamline the shopping experience.

But if the store was tracking you once you left, got in your car, head to pick up a hooker, go to a motel, then head home to your wife... well there is a bit of a privacy issue.

A closer look at the orange line:

Events from today:

Prime Minister and parts of the team involved in the Pandemic response have been infected. Seems a little like a Firefighters house catching fire, but oh well those are the cards you are dealt.

Nations largest supermarket caps home delivery to maximum of 80 items to help with supply and demand.

Plans finally put in place to test healthcare workers on the front line.

Catering wholesalers start home deliveries to sell stock that closed restaurants, pubs etc are not currently taking due to all being closed.

The owner of Sports Direct apologises for being a Silly Bastard and offers his companies delivery trucks to help out the National Health Service. It is unclear if his offer has been accepted.

More interesting is that a private company can buy this information and see the location of mobile devices.

Scary interesting. Especially given even if it was scrubbed of personal information given its a full path of your locations its easily to see who it is.

Catering selling to the public is a great idea. I do wonder though if they sell in quantities/small enough packages thats actually useful to someone cooking at home. Like, what the heck you gonna use 15kg of minced garlic for? LoL

Good on the silly sports shop for offering their trucks, might come in handy.

I've been out yesterday to visit one of the few dentists still working. It's a bit shady because me feeling like dying of a blown lower back teeth is not an emergency and thus I should not be treated, but I sure as hell am grateful that the system is just broken enough for me to get to a doc.
The bad part was me having to return today to fix what they kinda messed up yesterday, but the pain is much more manageable now.
Still lots of ppl walking around, still most of them have no protection of any sort. The air quality in the city and general hygiene of the public buildings and transports is so low at any given time, that lots of ppl wear masks and gloves, not just when there's a pandemic! Why the hell aren't they wearing it now??

Govʼt introduces movement restrictions - BBJ

Hungaryʼs government is introducing movement restrictions from March 28 until April 11 to contain the spread of the coronavirus, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in a weekly interview on public radio on Friday, according to a report by state news wire MTI.

From tomorrow we are Officially not allowed to go out Willy nilly anymore, which is good news. By decree, everyone should stay home,and is allowed to go to work, go see a doc if emergency, or go buy essentials and nothing else really. We even have separate shopping times for the elderly which is a good idea imho. They are the most dangerous . yes, you read that right, insert "in Soviet Russia, reverse thing happens" joke here.
I hope more ppl will adhere to these guidelines now that it's becoming more strict and they can be fined for being silly.

Ps.: you can see that I've been playing Doom, I say Hell a lot lol
