Recently in Britain, the National Health Service came out with a app designed to track people who had caught Covid-19.
If you had this app, and had caught Covid-19, it would āpingā anyone near you who also had the app. Warning them that they had come in contact with someone who had caught Covid-19. However, the people who were āpingedā would then ping anyone they came near who also had the government app.
So someone who had the virus would ping everyone near themā¦
Who would then ping everyone near themā¦
Who would then ping everyone near themā¦
Who would then ping everyone near themā¦
Who would then ping everyone near themā¦
Who would then ping everyone near themā¦
Who would then ping everyone near themā¦
Who would then ping everyone near themā¦
Who would then ping everyone near themā¦
Who would then ping everyone near themā¦
Who would then ping everyone near themā¦
Who would then ping everyone near themā¦
Who would then ping everyone near themā¦
Who would then ping everyone near themā¦
Who would then ping everyone near themā¦
(Iām not exaggerating here!)
Who would then ping everyone near themā¦
Who would then ping everyone near themā¦
Who would then ping everyone near themā¦
Who would then ping everyone near themā¦
Who would then ping everyone near themā¦
Ad nauseum. And thanks to Bluetooth, it even worked though walls!
All these people were being advised by this government run application to self-isolate for 2 weeks. Within days of launching Britain had over 600,000 people self-isolating. Bring many businesses to a screaming halt, as their employees had disappeared.
Where as WOWās Blood Plague was isolated to Azeroth, this government made āvirtual plagueā had devastating effects in the real world.
