The Shield Application ====================== Our ministry of health has developed an application to track people who might have the Corona. It is translated to The Shield application. I don't like how some people are in favor of making this application mandatory. What the heck? The authorities are not allowed to tell me what technologies to use. They can't make me purchase a smartphone. I like calling that application "Vic Mackey application" after the nice bald man with the blue eyes from The Shield. Oh, sorry, the nice bald man with the blue eyes is Michael Chicklis; Vic Mackey is a brutal and corrupt cop. Of course I have to find better arguments against the application than "they're invading my privacy!". I like listening to a podcast instead of the pro-establishment people. The podcast is made by Dr. Yuval Dror, a technological sociologist. The last short lecture I heard from him is about the question if an application can save us from diseases. The doctor explains that you should not count on cellular applications because of to main reasons: 1. False Positive - because you have received a transmission from too big a distance. 2. False Negative - not getting a notification though you were around an infected person who has not taken a phone with him/her. The second option may be cool if you do not develop any symptoms, and therefore are free.
