Based on Hawaii's experience with listening to the government broadcast and literally driving into the fire and their ultimate deaths as a result, I think many people would treat the government recommendation with the same level of trust that the government earned after, "two weeks to flatten the curve."
No Mr President.....that is not chocolate chunk ice cream...
They should have just ate the snake.... and saved everyone a whole lotta grief....
Seriously, people need to understand the value of a proactive vs reactive approach. If I was told, "there's a deadly snake in that tree so never eat from it."They should have just ate the snake.... and saved everyone a whole lotta grief....

You give them way too much credit. If looking for you they can find you with a mobile, but sort of hard to look for everybody all at once.My suspicion is since they can now bypass your location settings with this, they can pinpoint the coordinates of your cell phone at will, then tally that as a "hit" tied to your cell number. They also know how many cell phones, tablets, Chromebooks, etc are sold. Work out the math and they just keep tapping them until they get the response that makes them feel successful; Oct 4, 5, 6, 7...
May not matter if you turn your device off (or wrap it in foil) on Oct 4, since they can hit it over and over again at will if they want to.
Maybe you should record it and save it as your new ringtone.That won't be annoying at all, right?
You still have Bangor, and a key Navy radio station up in the mountains... not to mention JBLM for a big ol' bullseye.
Now, I should at least have time to kiss my a$$ goodbye.
Naw. When God created Adam he just wanted a pet. He confined Adam in a walled kennel/zoo/prison/"garden" where there was no danger, no excitement, no need to earn a living, opportunity to achieve anything, no need or ability to be responsible for anything, not even himself, no sex or procreation either. So Adam was bored, depressed, and lonely. So God created Eve. She wasn't part of the original plan. She was nobody's pet. And when she got together with Snake she was brave enough to choose knowledge. Following her lead, so did Adam. So God threw them out of the boring but beautiful prison. Thereafter, they would have to learn, think, invent, work, suffer pain, take responsibility for themselves, procreate. God had created Adam and Eve. Snake helped them become human.They should have just ate the snake.... and saved everyone a whole lotta grief....

I am just a cranky old Fudd that likes my privacy. Being constantly on call has made me hate the phone and decided in retirement that not even the government is going to waste my time.This is still my functional arrangement. With the land line being the main telephone for most use. None of my adult children have retained land lines, they are all on cell phones. I don't "do" text, it's too annoying. If someone wants to reach me on a phone, it's got to be voice or nothing. But then again, I'm not in business, I'm retired; instant and constant communication isn't necessary for my life.
Maybe they just want to be able to thank us for paying our taxes all these years and then say good bye ?A real government would have an opt out of the system because they know its not worth doing. There is no place built for us that is shelter to run to. No food bunkers or water storage and even our oil reserve is gone. Why call us at all.
