Contact tracing is going to be a serious problem for the US. While countries like Spain or the UK might fail to setup contact tracing due to incompetence or corruption, the US has the federalism issue to sort out too. Who, exactly, is responsible for setting up contact tracing systems, and under what authority? If it’s devolved to the state level, how are we going to deal with people crossing state borders, or large population centers that are near or straddle borders (Kansas City will be a nightmare for that)? If it’s federal then we might as well give up hope, given how lackluster the federal governments response to the pandemic has been so far.
