Contacts = A Racket

My worry regarding the plan of Gov. Edwards immediately goes long term. I can see multiple consequences to this. Firstly, there is the slippery slope of the requirement to report a status of a medical test. HIPPA laws be damned, I guess. Moreover, take how the job breakdown is treated in different industries. In customer service,"front-facing" are usually those with better opportunities for pay and advancement. How would this discrepancy play out during the pandemic? Would those with immunity be in high demand? Would people expose themselves hoping to get immunity and thus higher pay? (They would.)
In other industries, the less you deal with the public, the higher status you have. How would that impact financial decisions like pay and benefits, long term?


What happens when cybernetics and prosthetics need to be upgraded every couple of years?
Well, for one, this absolutely will happen. Take contact lenses, even, as an example of how it kinda already has. First of all, that you need a yearly prescription for something that is specific to you and not a drug? Complete racket for insurance money from requiring yearly exams. Contacts have a much longer shelf-life than any box suggests. We have already found ways to profit on the need to keep cyborgs "updated." Glasses weren't as easily disposed of. 
So, really, I think this will happen for other areas in exactly the same way. Software and hardware updates will be required with a fair amount of frequency, but each individual update will not be so cost prohibitive as to deter those who can from obtaining a new limb or implant. In my view, the cybernetic feature would slowly become obsolete if one could not afford to update--buying time to find a non-cybernetic alternative or save for the subscription again. I can't imagine the system will look blatantly intended to screw anyone by design. I think, like all of our innovations of recent decades, the reliance on these technologies will, slowly but surely, become so widespread and ingrained that living without them will at some point seem impossible, much like smart phones now.
