I'm not ready to risk giving up more privacy to "mitigate a pandemic outbreak".
I believe there are other ways to fight viruses, we (the world) should invest massively in biological R&D to better understand, protect, control and heal our body rather than track people. Tracking people is a low-level solution that misses the bigger picture.
Maybe this will be possible in 50 or 200 years, but the world we currently live in is not ready to both track people and respect basic human rights, in my opinion.
By the way : same argument is valid for nuclear weapons. Why don't we accept that all countries get nuclear weapons? Because it would be dangerous in the wrong hands.

- prh8 6y agoSo you'd rather let this pandemic continue for many months while we wait for all that research to result in anything useful?
