I find the principle of a "health pass" a little disturbing. Do we want to live in a society where we have to prove something about our health in order to attend events ?
In general no, we don't. But pragmatically in the current circumstances this seems to be the best option (or least bad) until things are sorted.
What about people who don't have phones or printers?
Bacterial infections of the lungs are very hard to fight esp with the increase of antibiotic resistance. A single cough from a TB infected individual used to be a death sentence to the receiver (prior to antibiotics).
So where does all this start and end. If we are serious about health while traveling then let’s go all in across the germ spectrum and see what happens ;-)
I’d love to see planes reporting on cabin air quality as well. I’m sure I’m not the only one who gets sick (pre Covid) when traveling long haul.

As Milton said, "Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program."
Officials have already hinted that masks, lockdowns, etc. will be implemented (at least seasonally) forever.

Do you think governments are going to give up their power after implementing digital passes?
It's a little paranoid to claim that governments are continuously trying to create totalitarian states. Or that, in any case, they can do what they want, they can't. We already see that with all the debates on these passes and safety measures put in place. They are a hard sell to the public and everyone's watching. There is already huge pressure not to have them for a day longer than absolutely necessary and politically governments will have to stop as soon as possible.
