The problem is systemic. The tec businesses collect way too much private data and for them it is product they sell. With US tech the aim of the data is marketing to us. With China who knows?

Kick em out.

Sydney COVID-19 cluster origins to be revealed within 24 hours | Sky News AustraliaFederal Health Minister Greg Hunt has told Sky News the government is “not casting stones,” but after the Black Lives Matter protests in Melbourne some Victorians clearly saw a double standard.\n\nVictoria has recorded over 500 new cases in the past week, and approximately ten per cent of the case load have been admitted to hospital.\n\nThe Victorian government issued stay at home orders for the entire metropolitan Melbourne region which will include the Mitchell Shire.\n\nMr Hunt said there was a significant breach of the state’s hotel quarantine system which undoubtedly came with catastrophic outcomes.\n\n“Our job is to focus on the outcomes and repairing the challenge,” he told Sky News host Sharri Markson.\n\nThe federal government’s primary task is to support Victoria with both military assistance and contact tracing, according to Mr Hunt.\n\nHe said the nation is coming together to support Victoria by offering practical action, necessary personnel, and remote tracing. \n\n“We’ve brought in national support, assistance from other states and territories, and assistance from the national incident centre”.\n\n“New South Wales is doing a herculean job in helping with remote tracing in Victoria”.\n\nMr Hunt also said NSW Health was getting “very close to identifying the original source”.\n\n“I'm hopeful and confident that within 24 hours they will be in a position to identify that source”.\n\nHe declined to link the outbreak with Victorians travelling to Sydney.\n\nImage: Getty GregHuntMP GregHuntMP Sooooooo why did no other city that have a BLM protest get a spike ?
