For one thing, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has recently released information stating cloth and surgical masks don't work and by wearing them "violates standards on making oxygen available." Furthermore, there is no data available that can quantify risk reduction from the use of masks. The CDC knows masks are useless for protecting against coronavirus (influenza and cold viruses) yet is aggressively attempting to push the idea masks save lives. CAL-OSHA states: "Cloth face covers are not protective equipment and do not protect the person wearing a cloth face cover from COVID-19." In the final analysis, it appears Arizona Governor Ducey is complying with the tech companies setting up an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty, then pushing for the futility of wearing masks setting the stage for implementing contact tracing. The next stage will likely be an attempt to make vaccines mandatory.

Americans Should Never Again Comply With Pandemic Lockdown Orders
Then we come to contact tracing being rolled out that has more to do with data collection (probably for A.I. development), tech growth as in this case in Arizona and how the coronascam is being used to roll out this contact tracing using smart phone apps. This is all being pushed as some kind of a benign attempt to "protect the public from coronavirus" when in fact, there is a far more significant reason for this contact tracing effort. In Germany, the majority of Germans have refused to download contact tracing apps for good reason. They realize contact tracing is more about data collection of privacy information and the very real threat of mass surveillance.

The country of Norway has now rejected contact tracing rightfully stating "it violates privacy." It seems privacy watchdog groups in Norway are doing a better job of monitoring big tech more closely than how big tech is being scrutinized in the US where business and profits trump privacy concerns like in Arizona. If it isn't obvious by now, big tech has gone too far by pushing the threshold of our tolerance. Retaliation is coming and it has started with the US Justice Department (DoJ) recently announcing "recommendations for reforming big tech platforms." The big tech corporations are trying to hypernormalise this bulls*t.

Norway pulls its coronavirus contacts-tracing app after privacy watchdog's warning

One of the first national coronavirus contacts-tracing apps to be launched in Europe is being suspended in Norway after the country’s data protection authority raised concerns that the software, called "Smittestopp," poses a disproportionate threat to user privacy — including by continuously uploading people's location.
Following a warning from the watchdog Friday, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (FHI) said today it will stop uploading data from tomorrow — ahead of a June 23 deadline when the DPA had asked for use of the app to be suspended so that changes could be made. It added that it disagrees with the watchdog's assessment but will nonetheless delete user data "as soon as possible."
As of June 3, the app had been downloaded 1.6 million times, and had around 600,000 active users, according to the FHI — which is just over 10% of Norway's population; or around 14% of the population aged over 16 years.
"We do not agree with the Data Protection Agency’s assessment, but now we have to delete all data and pause work as a result of the notification," said FHI director Camilla Stoltenberg in a statement [translated via Google Translate]. "With this, we weaken an important part of our preparedness for increased spread of infection, because we lose time in developing and testing the app. At the same time, we have a reduced ability to fight the spread of infection that is ongoing.
"The pandemic is not over. We have no immunity in the population, no vaccine, and no effective treatment. Without the Smittestopp app, we will be less equipped to prevent new outbreaks that may occur locally or nationally."
Europe's data protection framework allows for personal data to be processed for a pressing public health purpose — and Norway’s DPA had earlier agreed an app could be a suitable tool to combat the coronavirus emergency. Although the agency was not actively consulted during the app’s development, and had expressed reservations — saying it would closely monitor developments.
Developments that have led the watchdog to intervene are a low contagion rate in the country and a low download rate for the app — meaning it now takes the view that Smittestopp is no longer a proportionate intervention.
"We believe that FHI has not demonstrated that it is strictly necessary to use location data for infection detection," said Bjørn Erik Thon, director of Norway’s DPA, in a statement posted on its website today.
Unlike many of the national coronavirus apps in Europe — which use only Bluetooth signals to estimate user proximity as a means of calculating exposure risk to COVID-19 — Norway's app also tracks real-time GPS location data.
The country took the decision to track GPS before the European Data Protection Board — which is made up of representatives of DPAs across the EU (and the EEA, of which Norway is a member) — had put out guidelines, specifying that contact-tracing apps "do not require tracking the location of individual users"; and suggesting the use of "proximity data" instead.
Additionally, Norway opted for a centralized app architecture, meaning user data is uploaded to a central server controlled by the health authority, instead of being stored locally on device — as is the case with decentralized coronavirus contacts-tracing apps, such as the app being developed by Germany and one launched recently in Italy. (Apple and Google's exposure notification API also exclusively supports decentralized app architectures.)
The FHI had been using what it describes as "anonymised" user data from the app to track movement patterns around the country — saying the data would be used to monitor whether restrictions intended to limit the spread of the virus (such as social distancing) were working as intended.
The DPA said today that it's also unhappy users of the app have no ability to choose to grant permission only for coronavirus contacts tracing — but must also agree to their personal information being used for research purposes, contravening the EU data protection principle of purpose limitation

Governors in states that are making masks "required" or "mandatory" have absolutely no authority under law to initiate this type of mandate under color of law.
Masks, we ain't got no masks. We don't need no masks. I don't have to show you no stinkin' mask...
Let's play grand theft corona...
