App caused chaos in summer of 2021 when it alerted millions of people to >self-isolate

The NHS Covid-19 app behind the controversial pingdemic is to be shut
down next month.
The digital contact tracing service, which crippled businesses and
forced millions of workers into quarantine, will stop working on April
27 for lack of use.
The app, which was launched in September 2020, allowed people to
register positive Covid tests and then would notify recent contacts
about possible exposure to the virus. Those who came into contact with a >Covid patient were pinged and told to isolate.
At its peak, the app was alerting more than half a million people each
week that they should stay at home, bringing the economy to a halt.
A spokesman for the UK Health Security Agency said the number of people
using the app had steadily reduced over the last 18 months as the
world exited lockdowns.

Shame on andrew, look at his red face.
He is trying to pull a fast one. His scripture bit is found among these:
'14 Bible verses about Spiritual Hunger'
Psalms
81:10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: >open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Proverbs
13:25 The righteous has enough to satisfy his appetite, But the stomach of >the wicked is in need.
Joel
2:26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of
the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my
people shall never be ashamed.
Psalms
107 For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
Acts
14:17 "Yet he did not leave himself without witness, for he did good by >giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying
your hearts with food and gladness."
someone eternally condemned & ever more cursed by GOD perseverated:

Does andrew's "definition" agree with scripture? Let's see in 1 John:
John wrote this to christians. The greek grammer (sic) speaks of an ongoing >> status. He includes himself in that status.
1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is
not in us.
1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, >> and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is >> not in us.
