"Say Good-bye To Privacy"

Just when we thought it might be safe to go back outside, fears of infection-spikes in countries that have loosened up on lock downs have begun to materialize.

According to ABC News; "The original epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, Wuhan, China, has now recorded the first new cluster of local cases since its strict lock down was lifted in early April.

The outbreak in Wuhan is one of two worrying clusters in China, with the other popping up hundreds of miles away in the northeastern city of Shulan, which was ordered back into lock down."

And now we can add Germany and South Korea to the list of countries experiencing virus flare-ups.

"The World Health Organization's  emergencies chief, Dr. Michael Ryan, said that robust contact tracing measures adopted by Germany and South Korea provide hope that those countries can detect and stop virus clusters before they get out of control," reports the Associated Press.

So what exactly is contact tracing?

"Contact tracing involves interviewing patients to collect information on all the people they have had sustained contact with and all the places they have been. It is laborious and error-prone because it is dependent on memory, interviews, and detective work," says Aaron Mauro, Assistant Professor of Digital Media, Brock University.

It also requires an army of detectives, is enormously expensive, and is too slow to be effective. But there's an app for that and the benefits of app-based contact tracing are clear--your phone is keeping track of you and everyone around you. So what's the problem? The American people aren't willing to accept the loss of privacy--yet.

"We are all wondering how COVID-19 will end. We will not likely return to normal without a broadly distributed vaccine, which is a bracing proposition. It is also becoming increasingly clear that we will have to find a way to trace transmission and maybe even enforce individual quarantines in the interim," Mauro said.

The Big Question? Which will die out first--the coronavirus or our American way of life?

A wise man once said: "The bottom line of all this is that due to COVID-19, the end-time convergence of signs and conditions has been shifted into overdrive. The birth pains described by Jesus in Matthew 24 are increasing with frequency and intensity--globally--right before our eyes. We have yet to see the full effects of the virus upon the world's health, wealth, freedoms, and fall out." -- Todd Hampson, Prophecy News Watch

"Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm." (EPHESIANS 6:11-13)
