In track and trace you are only tracked in certain places, this looks like kind of everywhere, or perhaps everywhere there are people…
Prioritization for treatment, and then treatment - not sure if the idea is you get the choice.
Assessing your ‘behaviour’, your profession, the health of everyone you’ve passed by. Continuously (or until they run out of printed circuits or energy).
System may select subjects for treatment anonymously.
Subject carries around all the devices.
A bit weird?
Is all this massive intrusion to tell you to get a vaccine? Looks more like a continuous vaccine, determined by technology? Where would people fit in who didn’t want to be part of it? It’s inconceivable they won’t find barriers everywhere, surely?
There’s 70 pages of these variations or options (first few pages below).
