> Wasn't this the future everyone imagined ? or we all want to carry more X number of cards ?

I think you're referring to the future where all tickets are digital, which is fine. This is in addition to the ticket, id checks etc. You will need to show the aarogya setu e pass to prove that you're low risk, don't have a history of coming in contact with a person having covid 19. In theory it sounds fine, the devil is in the details : having to link phone number, have all location history stored etc. If its like how apple and google designed it, I would be fine with it. Privacy is preserved. And this should never be mandatory in the first place. Reading : https://covid19-static.cdn-apple.com/applications/covid19/cu...

You really thing the google-apple way is preserving privacy ? People have problems with that too.

I am sure the devil is in the details, but its easier to slam the govt doing anything.

Just like how valiantly the govt has prevented the Aadhar database from leaking again (and again, all the while claiming Aadhar is completely optional), I am sure they will be able to make a completely secure application this time too.

I don't even need to go to point that the government will have intentions to abuse it, it's the incompetence of those fucking morons that will doom us all.

More privacy friendly than setu. It upfront asks you about more information than it needs and also the tracking system seems to use more than bluetooth.
