Exactly this. I'm not installing anything on my phone, and I don't answer phone calls that are not from my contacts. I've never been tested because I don't trust the testing companies.

If I'm sick, I'll stay home. I wear a mask where I'm required to. That's the limit of my participation in this hysteria.

Well over 250,000 dead Americans with over 100,000 new cases per day and your word is "hysteria"? I'd rather use the word "crisis." In a bad year the flu kills 61,000 here. We're over four times that now and with no signs of slowing down.

And I'm really not sure what there isn't to trust about the testing companies.

I'm not that extreme. I'm happy with being tested, and I'll be happy with vaccines and so forth.

It's Silicon Valley and its entire "you signed an agreement, you belong to us" morality and "get your attention span" business model that I distrust. Well, that and phishing phone calls/texts (I seem to get those regularly, after all this time).
