I dont know how this phone spy virus ap is supposed to work just another urban idea like smart electric meters or texts from banks on large transactions, I would like to see a mobile signal work round my house and I am only 60 miles from London.
As for ventilators, reading the financial times there is little chance of getting one allocated in the UK in hospital if you are over 70 or got overlying health issues, better to die at home with loved ones I guess.
