I had to google to be reminded of what it meant. It refers to exposure
to covid and since a) I have the app that keeps track of whether I'm
near an infected person, and b) I turned off bluetooth, it complains.

I only go out once or twice a week, soI will leave it off and hope the
reminder re-appears when I'm leaving the house.

No, it will not. How can it know you are leaving home?

Well it's a little computer. It should know. Google or something
knows everything.

But what I meant was, When I'm leaving the house and I turn the phone on
again, I hope the reminder re-appears.

I have BT on full time, and I stay most of the time at home. No impact
on battery, I get to bedtime with 2/3 of battery left.

I need BT when I get to the car, and I prefer not forgetting to switch
it on.

Now I have a reminder. At least if it shows up again.

Also I bought some Basic AAA batteries from Amazon and the mailing label
had in bold fairly large text “Not restricted as per special provision”.
Other things were in the bag too and I'd bought 9V batteries just a few
months ago and there was no such message, so I had to look that up, but
it's definitely because of the batteries. Every 12 batteries came in
its own shrink wrap.

And what does it mean?

They need to follow some sort of rules to ship batteries. They must have
been made for Li-ion batteries. I'm not at all convinced they apply to
alkaline batteries or AAA batteries. But even if they do, Amazon solved
any problem by shrink wrapping them in groups of 12 so no + could touch
a - end. Clear, rather stiff shrink wrap. Maybe that's not the right
word.
