CORONA Just Received This Notice

[Jmurman]

I just received this notice on my 'Nextdoor' app.

Answer the Call! Answer The Call! If you have been in close contact with a person who has COVID-19, a public health worker may call to let you know you’ve been exposed and ask you to stay at home and self-quarantine. Doing so keeps you, your family, and your community safe. Be part of the solution and help slow the spread of COVID-19

So from what I know so far, 'somebody' installed at tracking app on my iPhone without my knowledge or approval. It had to be Apple during a recent update. So this app uses Bluetooth to trace my movements. I've since turned my Bluetooth off, as I don't really need it.

Have any of you all gotten a notice of intent to force quarantine like this?

Remove the app(s). There have been a couple of threads about it in the past two weeks.

I'd get rid of the "Next Door" app too...but that's just me.

That looks like a generic Public Service Announcement from nextdoor.com not something specifically targeted at you.
Like IF they call, please cooperate.

Mobile highway signs on the interstates here have similar messages. I wouldn't read much into it.

 

[Dennis Olson]

Ignore it.

Big Sister is taking over ...

What is Nextdoor dot com and why do people use it?
Call me ignorant but TB is about all I use to keep up with stuff.
In my opinion the more apps you use the more you are tracked and traced

 

[blackjeep]

It must be good and for your benefit, because it will keep you SAFE!

How very CONVENIENT if SUDDENLY every single conservative or Republican voter got just such a message on, say, November 2.............

I like Nextdoor. I learn about shortages and a lot of useful local stuff. However, I wouldn't put it on my phone, and current SOP is to leave my phone at home, since I leave it in the car when I'm in a store, and high heat really isn't good for phones.

Ha! We had a minister of music that was a libertarian leaning Republican. one year, during announcements on Sunday, he told the congregation,

“now everyone remember to vote this coming week, Republicans vote on Tuesday, Democrats vote on Wednesday!”

I laughed out loud...there was one or two sour looks, but the rest of the people just laughed too.
