18th
April
,
I sent following email to Cabinet Ministers and to
-
where I suggested improvements in respect of ( read blog for
details ) :
Ø Self
Declaration ( no voluntarily entering of down-loader’s health status )
Ø Voluntary
Downloading ( App to be pre-installed at factory
by manufacturers )
Ø Permission
to Leave House ( E-pass
/ Permanent – Temporary )
Ø
Tracking Positive Thru GPS ( NaVIC – India’s GPS – to track all phones
24x7 )
Ø
As soon as I am within 2 meters of any of these
( positive ) Mobile phone, my phone will start getting a signal and start beeping !
22 April,
In my email [ Aarogya
Setu : Ayushmaan Bhavah : ], I suggested adding following feature :
Ø E-pass will go a long way to enforce SOCIAL DISTANCING
Ø SOCIAL DISTANCING DETECTOR will go even longer by raising ALARM when two persons come closer than mandated 6 ft distance.
May be
Aarogya Setu Team is already asking :

MeitY and NIC listing the following shortcomings

concerned, provision for audio guide
navigation, audio description of colour used,
proper colour contrast etc.

Setu app for those who cross the border.

Dear Shri Narendrabhai,
Some high-profile politicians and some “ publicity
seeking “ experts , are raising the bogey of Aarogya Setu violating user’s
privacy
They are,
Ø Less concerned with thousands dying of a
disease named CORONA ( possibly imported from China ),
and
Ø More
concerned with a disease named “ PRIVACY “ , imported from rich USA / EU ,
where , by now 180,600 lives have been lost to Corona ( 74 % of world-wide )
The only response that they deserve is ignoring them
Let Aarogya Setu Team implement these suggestions on a
war-footing – especially,
a COMMON / UNIVERSAL , E – Pass feature,
which replaces
a plethora of all kinds of e-passes currently being issued by different State Departments
/ Health Authorities / Agencies / Police / Municipalities etc
People are totally confused as to,
> “ Who to apply for an E-pass
, for Which purpose
and How “
With regards,
Hemen Parekh
