Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

Like someone else mentioned if the government wants your DNA they already have it or could easily get it.
Anyone here that has never been to a doctor's, dentist or hospital?
I don't think the government is using covid testing to acquire people's DNA. There's plenty of ways to get it if they wanted it.

I can't argue with that! There are plenty of ways to get it, that's for sure!

Don't think for a minute the govt, among a lot of shady people, are letting this opportunity go to waste.

If you've been to the hospital they know everything about you inside and out... funny how people focus on DNA testing or booger testing when they already have your DNA from when you were born in the hospital

Good grief I'm about to pee from laughing so hard

Do you get your information from conspiracy theory websites?

Hell this one didn't even sell it, they just gave it away for free (I'm sure they didn't get any favors in return )

Honestly if it was to solve violent crimes I can see that. The more criminals they catch in this country the better.

I have no idea what you mean, lol. I'm a little slow, not actually from Colorado, and assuming there must be some stereotype I don't know about which you are referring to? Or maybe because there is a big military presence here?

Colorado is an interesting place to an outsider. One one hand...Home of Focus on the Family, megachurch owners (don't forget home to many other "religious compounds" in the woods), large military presence, NORAD, and a number of extreme right. On the other hand, there's this massive population of "commie hippies", who drive BMW's, buy Apple products, and smoke joints while talking about the man holding them down types.

I have read/seen on news Colorado has the highest rate of college degrees per capita. Have also read it is the highest percentage of independent voters.

What an interesting place with so many dichotomies!!!



Likely sell it. We have to admit the govt isn't that smart to know what yo do with it. The military or private business on the other hand.







Do not underestimate what someone can do with data or the unknown. I don't know how old you are, but if you are 35-80 then you have experienced changes in life that were simply unfathomable, just look at phones for example....Operator dialing phones, to self dialing, corded, cordless, answering machines, giant car phones, smaller car phones, cell phones, flip phone, smart phones, etc. All in one person's lifetime. The speed at which we uncover things keeps accelerating as we learn, and learn how to use, technology and data.

So, as an example, using your DNA and information might be for simple things like letting insurance know you have certain genes which make you "predisposed" to something, which means you pay higher rates or maybe can't get any coverage. The "what if" game for this one could get really fun!!

After all, when is the last time a big company used information against you? Or manipulated the system for their benefit and the consumer's detriment? Rhetorically....every. damn. time. lol.



My fingers are in many things. Technology is one of them and this stuff is amazing. It's freakishly crazy what I can do (remember, I'm slow) let alone really smart people.

I may have missed it but what's wrong with bmw drivers?

Exactly... Living in fear is not a good thing. You really think they're using your boogers to collect your DNA?

That's funny. While I might not appreciate all I see, I don't live in ignorance to what goes on around me.

Umm, hello?! Yes, otherwise it will rust!!!

Funny I don't care and they have a lot less chance of getting mine then most.
I don't plan on getting tested. Its still hard to even get tested here.
And I've actually not been to a doctor or hospital since '97.
I don't go out to eat. And I do smoke put have always had the habit of putting out my cigarette then putting the butt in my back pocket.
I don't even put trash on the curb. We burn ours.

Oh man...lol.

I mean no offense to, AKA bless their hearts, AKA we love them but, these people...
