Here’s the real deal. I’m quite privacy conscious. Hate tracking of any type, esp. for some mega corps profit.
That said, I’d gladly install a decent security verified app that tracks me for the next 3 months. I’d be happy to self isolate again with my family (as we’re doing now) if I came in contact with someone. But the big issues are:
- ensure tracking is available only to those who need it and doesn’t get shared with any commercial interest.
- my employer supports WFH or short term paid sick leave (maybe with gov’t assistance) for those 14 days.
Get those two things and I think the majority of the US population would opt in. That would be sufficient.
Sure there’s some risk that people are infected who won’t opt in. But that opt in system of “we’re all in this together” is much better than a forced gov’t tracking system.
