SAN FRANCISCO, CA – A new Bluetooth-enabled digital coronavirus test, known as “Signal,” is being touted as a quick and efficient way for individuals to regularly test themselves for the virus, as experts predict that COVID-19 – despite the current lull in overall infections compared to this time last year – is highly likely to be here to stay.
The advertisement for Cue facetiously shows the device using its Bluetooth connectivity to “communicate” with other smart devices in a person’s home, such as Amazon Echo and Google Nest; Finally, a young boy awaiting his results shows relief when he tests negative for COVID.
The Cue website notes that it produces “Reliable, easy-to-use COVID-19 tests with PCR-quality results delivered directly to your mobile device in 20 minutes. No lab visits. No lines. No doubt about your results.
However, after Cue administers his COVID-19 molecular test, he will then transmit the results – positive or negative – directly to several state and federal government agencies for record keeping purposes, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC), which many users of the device may not be aware of.

Big Tech uses a content filtering system for online censorship. Look at our short video on NewsGuard to learn how they control the narrative for the Bladestream Media and helps you stay in the dark. NewsGuard is working with Big-Tech to make it harder for you to find certain content that they believe lacks “context” or stories that their editors deem “not in your best interest” – whether true and/or factually correct. They also work with payment processors and ad networks to cut off revenue streams to posts they rate poorly by their same bias standards. It should be criminal in America. You can get around this Third World nonsense by signing up to featured stories by email and get the good stuff straight to your inbox.
The “Information Sheet for Healthcare Professionals” which is included in the Cue packaging – which most people probably don’t bother to read – indicates that “The Cue Health mobile application (Cue Health App) automatically reports test results in accordance with reporting guidelines from relevant public health authorities.”
Similarly, Cue’s privacy policy states that the unit will report a user’s personal information “to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or other federal and/or state government agencies, as needed for public health surveillance and related purposes.”
But – being an all-digital platform – Cue also has serious potential security vulnerabilities; in April, a researcher discovered one that could allow the results of recorded tests to be modified before they were transmitted; this issue has since been discovered and corrected, but additional issues with securing individuals’ private medical records may still exist.
