The new iOS 13.5 for the iPhone includes an update to support Orwellian coronavirus tracking capabilities that will feed your data directly to the government.
Last night Apple released the final public versions of iOS 13.5 and iPadOS 13.5, following a lengthy period of beta testing.
As discussed in our iOS 13 .5 preview, the update includes various improvements for Face ID and FaceTime, as well as support for COVID-19 contact tracking apps by health authorities. That’s in addition to the usual collection of bug and safety fixes.
It basically makes your iPhone an automated contact tracer.
HEY – BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD THE NEW APPLE OPERATING SYSTEM (13.5) READ THIS: YOUR PHONE WILL BECOME AN AUTOMATED CONTACT TRACER. (Yes, you have to opt in. Once.) https://t.co/YbzVefnIXX pic.twitter.com/NsZHEi5pXG

If you end up installing this update on your iPhone, there is a way to disable the tracing function.
This whole thing is insane. The surveillance society is becoming increasingly more intrusive and this flu hoax has just driven this agenda into overdrive.
Apple and Google have already announced that they intend on being major supporters of this. And as a result, I would be extremely cautious about installing any new software updates on your smartphone. There’s no telling what they are including in these updates.
