Chinese President Xi Jinping is pushing for a global Covid-19 tracking system using QR codes, to help fast-track international travel and business during the coronavirus pandemic.

China mandated the widespread use of QR-based health certificates earlier this year. The system, which uses an electronic barcode to store a person's travel and health history, has been credited with helping to curb the spread of the virus.

The code issues users with a color code based on their potential exposure to the novel coronavirus. The colors are like traffic lights -- green is safest, then amber and finally red.

Hargreaves agreed that once vaccines for coronavirus were available, there would need to be an international "digital health passport" of some variety.

"For travel to approach anything like it was prior to Covid, then some kind of international standard that is easy to obtain, easy to use, secure, and protective of privacy will be necessary," he said.

The main problem of any international coronavirus app would be maintaining the privacy of the data, said Raina MacIntyre, head of the Biosecurity Research Program at the University of New South Wales' Kirby Institute.

MacIntyre suggested that a central database of information managed by the World Health Organization or a United Nations agency might be the least controversial way of creating a Covid tracking app.

"(But) will individuals consent to another government that isn't their own government accessing their data? That may be the price to pay for travel," she said.

Xi is playing low level games smh f*** ya virus punk keep your trash system over there

He ever take complete responsibility for his failure?

Hell no

People don’t even want to wear masks let alone offer up their persona data to a private company/foreign government

Although I guess we already do that. This is just more blatant

obviously this will never happen

never will

"(But) will individuals consent to another government that isn't their own government accessing their data? That may be the price to pay for travel," she said.

lmao what data? just get a stamp in your passport saying you took the vaccine and the date

corny ass dweebs always thirsty for data

He can go f*** himself

A tracking app to store a person's personal info which is handled by the government? gtfo

They gonna hit you with some sucka s*** ala take the vaccine or you won't be able to travel/to get a job etc

they gonna do that regardless tbh

yeah this. Like what the f*** you need all that extra information for

I ain't taking no vaccine, f*** that! They mixing that s*** like it's a juice f*** that

YOU STOOPID

Aight BungYoy

nah i’m not anti vaccine, i am vaccinated, but i will not rush to take a covid vaccine

s*** was put together haphazardly in under a year, there is definitely going to be unintended side effects

in 20 years from now we gonna see commercials on TV “if you or a loved one experienced x after taking the covid vaccine please call our law offices. you may be entitled to financial compensation”

"(But) will individuals consent to another government that isn't their own government accessing their data?“

Lol I’m only comfortable with ONE shadowy government illegally accessing all my data at a time thank you very much

Y’all fork over every detail down to the amount of hairs on your head to Emperor Zuckerberg and like half the tech industry

(even some random ass apps with a 2 star Apple rating that you gave geolocation data to one time so it could tell your astrological star charts best time to poop in your neighborhood and be synchronized with Mercury’s rotations or some other random bullshit)

But oh God, not big bad CHINA

Exactly!!!!!!! You go first @BungYoy

So if airlines require you to be vaccinated, y'all not traveling?

Maybe after a while. But I suspect that vaccines gonna be harder to get hands on than a ps5 when it first drops

As usual, that's why they're predicting most people will have it by spring of next year

"im not anti vax but im anti this vaccine"
