Millions of Americans Were Assigned ‘COVID-19 Violation’ Scores Based on Cellphone Data Collected During Lockdowns

CHD: A voter analytics firm harvested data from millions of Americans’ cellphones during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns and used the data to assign phone users a “COVID-19 decree violation” score and a “COVID-19 concern” score, according to a whitepaper released by PredictWise, the firm that harvested the data.

The data, derived from “nearly 2 billion GPS pings” stemming from “ground truth, real-time, ultra-granular location patterns,” according to PredictWise, was then used to target election-related messages to voters during the 2020 election season.

According to PredictWise, the firm “understood that there were potential pockets of voters to target with COVID-19 messaging and turned high-dimensional data covering over 100 million Americans into measures of adherence to COVID-19 restrictions during deep lockdown.” more

    ‘How do I find out if I had the highest score?’

    …after the Democrats steal the mid terms, you’ll win a life sentence in January 6th jail.

  2. That article listed at least 8 democrat clients of PredictWise, including the DNC. Who is the least bit surprised it’s democrats who love tracking and gathering information on people’s lives? Stupid commies.

  3. I have been out of circulation for the last 3 and a half weeks since 10-3-22 because I tested positive for COVID. I spent 10 days at Sacred Heart Med. Ctr. in Spokane with a mild but still severe enough case of COVID that kept me at Sacred Heart until 10-13. And for the past 2 weeks until they released me today, I was at St. Joseph’s Rehabilitation Ctr. doing rehab because of a wound on the bottom of my right foot. I am home finally and now it looks like I’ll have to retire from driving and delivering flowers any longer. I will be 70 in March and it’s time to retire. I am not worried because I will be starting a new chapter in my life of being with my grandkids far more often and doing some volunteer work etc. to keep myself busy. I have all my needs supplied by God who has been with me for the past 50 years and has never failed me, so I am in a good place and time to retire now. And I never want to get COVID again, even a mild version sucks.

    May the Lord bless and heal you, guard you and guide you, and may He grant you peace to enjoy the grandchildren you help to raise in His glory as He guides your steps and supplies your needs as you enter this new phase of life.

    In the meeciful name of Jesus I pray,
    Amen.

  6. During the “lockdown” I was splicing fiber cables all over my county. Masking in my shop was a joke, like the 55 mph speed limit. I only wore a mask to get into some places, hell the Walmart near me never enforced the mask mandate. I would love to see my score.

  7. Geoff,

    Thank the Lord you are ok. Damn near killed me also. Of course that was by design so the overwatch of our dear Lord and Savior kept us around.

    Retirement is quite all right after you reorient. Spent Sunday with my 10 year old Grandson and it was awesome.

    Blessings to you.
