Iceland has done quite fine through this with contact tracing as one of the main tools in the toolbox. I think a blanket statement of "not needed" needs something more behind it.
- triyambakam 6y agoWe have better tools that don't involve invasion of privacy. How many people praised the Patriot Act after 9/11?
- CathedralBorrow 6y agoIceland does not have the Patriot Act or anything like it, so I'm not sure how that's relevant here.
- triyambakam 6y agoContact tracing is a world wide privacy issue, and especially in the US. I'm talking more generally here, especially that the overwhelming sentiment here on HN towards contact tracing is indifference or praise. We should not be praising further encroachments on our privacy, especially when contract tracing is hardly an effective way to mitigate the disease
- CathedralBorrow 6y agoI respectfully disagree that "we should" do what you would prefer to happen. Contact tracing is not a privacy issue here.
