The word "surveillance" in healthcare is a little different than in regular politics - it basically means gathering information from the field. See [1]. However, we're going to be seeing a lot of discussion about infectious disease surveillance and the more nefarious types. As Maciej Cegłowski has pointed out, we are already doing the nefarious kind on a massive scale in order to target ads more effectively. I do believe there's a middle ground, that this stuff can be done in a way that preserves human rights. But it will require attention and holding those who have the power to abuse the system accountable.
