Yawn. Walmart buys your data. Lots of places buy your data tracking you. Simply a tool public health used not to hone in on and punish any individual, but to see what was actually happening.
Example: if they told everyone to stay home AND THEY DID but a virus spread, that tells you something about transmission method. If they told everyone to stay home and THEY DID NOT and the virus spread, that tells you something different. Tells you later on saying "Staying home does not work" is lying.
Sort of like the masking kerfuffle. People misread a recent report. What it said was that mask mandates were not enforced and were largely ignored, so THOSE did not reduce the spread of covid. Of course buried in the report was the fact that if everyone chose to wear an n95 when out and about we would have pretty much tanked the virus early on. And that even today if you choose to be more protected you can do so with a mask, more with a procedure mask, and even more with an n95. And if you care about not sharing your own potential virus with others and want to protect them, masks are cheap and effective way to go, even n95s.
But the media, both liberal and conservative, spun it into more "masks don't work" propaganda.
And for those so inclined, turn off tracking, or turn off tracking and your phone, or leave it home. Problem solved.
