My Passport’s Green

at

This afternoon.

Via BreakingNews:

The ROQU Group, based in Dublin, has announced the pilot launch of the Health Passport Ireland, which is said to deliver test results in 15 minutes.

The system will be downloadable on mobile devices, with users able to display or scan their Covid status whenever needed.

If the user has tested negative, a green status will show on their profile, which turns to amber when it is time to be re-tested.

The system was engineered in Ireland and it is hoped that the Health Passport will allow people to continue daily activities, working with all official Covid-19 test types…

Anyone?

    Why does ‘negative’ – your green status – say ‘low risk’?
    Also if it’s an antibody test should you not get a ‘I’m Covid 19 free’ status?

    Whatever happened to antibody testing? it’s almost as forgotten a phrase as ‘we’re facing a tsunami of 15,000 cases by the end of March’ – (we had less than 300) cases or what happened to ‘flatten the curve’? Did we not flatten the flipping curve?
    What a pile of sticking poo poo mc poo poo

      There were 2,910 *known* cases on 31 March (not less than 300)
      We hit 15,000 on April 21st.

      And the “15,000 cases by the end of March” was if nothing was done. But stuff was done to slow things down, which bought 3 weeks.

        what about the 20,000 people that were waiting on tests but had them cancelled in March Cian. you should have included them. that would have given you your 15000 tsunami.

      There’s actually no such thing as a “negative” result because of false negatives etc. The test is there to detect the presence of the virus.

      The Antibody tests the British kept talking about was found to be nowhere near accurate enough to implement. There have also been cases of reinfection reported so even if it was accurate it would be pointless.

      1. Frank

        cases of reinfection?? from the same virus – covid19?
        are there any such cases in Ireland?
        how many cases worldwide?

        1. Plumbob

          Don’t think any known in Ireland but I know of a small amount worldwide. Still early in the life of the virus for reinfections being commonplace, that’s if it either will be commonplace or rare.

    Here we go. As suspected. . This is an attack on our society as we know it. We need to resist this before it properly gets off the ground. Seems like Ireland is being used to test the waters for the introduction of the planned ‘biosecurity state’ as some have dubbed it. A technology-driven system of governance with heightened levels of surveillance and social control hitherto never seen in western liberal democracies. All under the guise of protecting public heath. Once up and running this is not going away. The next public health threat will always be looming.. You mightn’t be overtly forced into it initially, put if you opt out, would be deemed to have a bad social credit rating – like in China’s system – and liable to be penalised or shut out from certain aspects of society.

    Who are this dodgy ROQU Group behind ‘Health Passport Ireland’? The Solocheck .ie website says the company was only set up on 29th of May 2020. Nothing much comes up in a google search apart from today’s announcement. Their website is just one page https://www.roqugroup.com/ with this message :

    “THE ROQU GROUP PARTNERS WITH GOVERNMENTS ACROSS FOUR CONTINENTS TO CREATE URGENT SOLUTIONS FOR HIGHLY COMPLEX AND CHALLENGING PROBLEMS.​

    TO FIND YOUR SOLUTION, EMAIL US.”

    Is this why we are being subjected to the persistent hysteria over “new cases” just like in many other countries despite the near complete drop off in deaths and hospitalisations for several weeks now? To manufacture consent for what’s planned down the line?

    Starting to look like Italian philosopher, Giorgio Agamben – who has been warning about the impending biosecurity state – has been right all along despite coming under criticism from some of his contemporaries. This short piece written by him is worth a read:

      You’re perfectly entitled to not download it, you know. They haven’t put the chip in your brain to recieve it directly… OR HAVE THEY!?!?!

      1. f_lawless

        But this is just the ‘test the waters phase’. If down the line the system gets properly up and running, you mightn’t be overtly forced in to it but you would be urged to do so or suffer restrictions or penalties – eg higher health insurance rates, not able to travel abroad, maybe schools start requiring them for pupils etc

        1. SOQ

          They are devolving a worldwide app and as an Irish company are looking for mugs here.

          I wouldn’t be too worried about this sort of thing- if they can’t develop a contact trace which doesn’t kill a fully charged battery in just over three hours then yeah- whatever.

    2. f_lawless

      I’m curious as to why Ireland was chosen as the first country to launch this in. These things don’t happen without a lot of planning behind it. Have we been judged as the European country most likely to go along with this without any serious resistance being mounted? We just don’t generally take to the streets and protest in the way other countries do

  3. Liam Deliverance

    I don’t get this, you pay a fee presumably, they test you for C-19, if you get a negative result the app is updated to say you tested negative – is that it?

  4. Just Sayin

    The logic is that you keep having to get tested (somebody makes money off this) in order for the app to stay ‘green’. The idea is that you would show your app status in order to get into a bar (remember those) or onto a plane.

    This might have made sense if covid was indeed the apocapylapse of doom that we were initially told.

    In actual fact it’s comparable to the flu epidemic we had in 2018 (that nobody really noticed)
