The Well, hello and welcome, and welcome to the worldwide broadcast of the Ted and Austin Brower show, bringing you the latest world news and health research. I hope all of you are having a fantastic day

today and I hope you guys enjoyed the Hagman show on Friday and had a safe weekend. There's

many of things going on right now. And the first thing that I wanted to bring up as far as we're starting to see this all across the country.

And this has been one of those things that I have said repeatedly, do not comply with any of this, is that New York now has fully launched their own COVID passport.

Kumo announced Friday the launch of the Excelsor pass a free service developed in partnership

with IBM to confirm an individual has had their COVID test results or vaccination status.

They said it's another tool in our toolbox to fight the virus while allowing more sectors

of the economy to open up.

And what it does is it has two sides of pass with a QR code that indicates if you've

received a negative COVID PCR test or it has your full set of vaccination shot history and a scanner app that reads

those QR codes and determines their validity. The individuals can either print their pass

codes or store their versions on their app, on their smartphones. Now, majority of what we're starting to see here, and I want to

kind of touch base in this real briefly, I got a bunch of other stuff to talk about. One of the

main reasons why they're doing this, and they said the scanner and the wallet are available

as free downloads on the Apple iOS App Store, and according to the governor, all personal information is going to be stored

and safely secured. And if you don't have the COVID shot, you have to have tested negative

within the last 10 days, meaning you're going to have to get repeated testing over and over and over again in order to keep this passport active, so to speak.

Now, one of the biggest things that a lot of people are basically, we're getting irritated about this,

is they're saying that they're going to require this.

They're essentially going to tell all businesses that venues and participating businesses

are going to have to verify these results on this app.

Now, what's the biggest issue with this?
