In April of 2020, I was discussing this with someone...


I am very much a data/privacy nut. Like extreme. (Sued an health insurer (and won) to prohibit their collection of my SSN. So dedicated.)


But I realized that we had a way of using technology to create 'automated track and trace'. The cost to our privacy would be extreme, but perhaps the benefit to all of us in society would be on balance a good thing. Was it possible to get buy-in to this?



Then some of the asian countries began this- china, korea.



I came to realize it was a non-starter here, but had I foreseen the anti-mask, anti-vaccine lunacy, Id have realized how moronic my musings really were.
