Universal ID# with scan code

Paul C•6 years ago With this pandemic occurring within our shores, mass testing is ideal to determine the status of one's circumstance with Covid-19 and future possible outbreaks. With the idea of contact tracing, implementation of a Universal IDs may be an appropriate time to consider where stores, schools, gas stations, businesses could setup up a station to scan and submit to a centralized database to monitor who comes and goes. This can also be applied to the Regiment/Police with road stops in dealing with compliance orders. Further, it can be tied into healthcare, court system, different government agencies and other entities. It may sounds harsh as being seen as "Big Brother is watching" however, the risks to personal health and safety should come first. The IDs would contain information that can be only be seen by specific, need to know, group(s)/departments. A legal framework must be required to protect privacy issues. Since we have not started mass testing yet for Covid-19 on the island and that we may not have an unique Universal IDs being used, (though it was previously discussed; not sure how far along we are with it) it's something to consider and ponder. Initial cost and infrastructure may be high but the benefits outweighs it in my opinion.
